Note that im_uname's key has changed since the last set expired. Import and verify from the usual place: gitlab.com/bitcoin-cash-n…

Builds and sigs available at: download.bitcoincashnode.org/misc/builds/up… Chipnet operators should download and run asap to avoid outage in your testing facilities in about a week. Mainnet and other testnet operators should wait until the official v29 release, which will follow soon.

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.

We urge all users to upgrade to v28.0.1 as soon as possible. v27.x releases will expire on May 15, 2025.

BCHN maintainers now consider VM Limits and BigInt CHIPs locked in by overwhelming community support. Our v28 release implementing these CHIPs will take a little longer, but Chipnet operators should upgrade to the prerelease version at download.bitcoincashnode.org/misc/builds/up…

BCHN maintainers endorse CHIP-2021-05 VM Limits and CHIP-2024-07 BigInt proposed by @bitjson . We have also provided a temporary testing facility before chipnet activation. Read more here: bitcoincashnode.org/en/newsroom/bc…

Using downloaded blockchain data without knowing exactly what you are doing is dangerous and opens you up to attacks. We strongly discourage it. We recommend you sync from scratch, and keep self-made archives if you would like to bootstrap multiple nodes.
