Announcing Bitcoin Cash Node v29.1.0, containing general usability improvements across RPC and REST interfaces, as well as significant performance improvements in certain scenarios.
Node operators: We're almost there, please upgrade to v29 as soon as possible!
The upgrade gets you a bag of awesome opcodes, AND ensures your (unmodified) node doesn't stop working on May 15th. Just replace and restart, it only takes a couple minutes.
The BCHN 2026 upgrade preview build is here, with Bitwise, Function, Loops and Pay-to-Script! The relevant new features will activate on chipnet 2025/11/15, and barring unforseen problems, on mainnet 2026/5/15.
