Short-form updates for operators, miners, and builders.
An opt-in model picker at startup with download sizes and disk headroom, a dedicated catalog-vocabulary variable for serving tiers, and the same-day 10.2.6/10.2.7 releases: BC3 side-mining and settlement anchors.
Aug 17, 2026
#release#aicf#mining#cli
getBlockTemplate advertised 225 ANM to a miner that receives 150 once the inference carve activates; pools crediting from the template would overpay 75 ANM per block. Also: useful-work verification armed in shadow (10.2.0) and the AICF state fix (10.2.1).
Aug 15, 2026
#release#mining#pool#consensus
pip install animica now includes the Layer 2 rollup package; 10.0.1 fixes the deposit indexer against the live node RPC and 10.1.0 makes CLI contract deploys sign with ML-DSA-65.
Aug 13, 2026
#release#l2#rollup#sdk
From block 75,000 the subsidy splits 50% miner / 25% treasury / 25% inference carve. Value-carrying calls, bounded retargeting, a uniform reorg bound and the optional quantum beacon activate at the same height.
Aug 11, 2026
#release#consensus#fork#emission
Python-VM contract calls execute on chain through a deterministic, gas-metered tree interpreter from block 75,000, replacing the fail-closed stub without the unsafe raw-exec path.
Aug 10, 2026
#release#consensus#fork#vm#contracts
Per-session, opt-in sub-block share targets derived from live Θ, so a share is worth exactly 1/S of a block. Older miners keep byte-identical targets.
Aug 06, 2026
#release#pool#mining#pps
Re-enables sub-block shares after 9.1.2's security fixes, retries block submission on RPC transport faults, and defers clamped PPS credit instead of destroying it.
Aug 06, 2026
#release#pool#mining#security
Video, audio and Blender render-farm jobs dispatched to GPU miners, and the block 50,000 fork realized: service IOUs are paid from the block reward, carved from the miner subsidy and capped at 50 ANM per block.
Jul 18, 2026
#release#consensus#fork#gpu#media
A WireGuard-based decentralized VPN built into the node, a browser proxy in the extension, and a consensus fork at block 50,000 that ships deliberately inert.
Jul 14, 2026
#release#dvpn#consensus#fork#extension
Three peers sat at height 38,728 for six days after a natural one-block fork because the headers pipeline discarded the winning sibling at every layer. 7.2.0 lets it through and pins the canonical block.
Jul 13, 2026
#release#sync#p2p#node
Promotes the shadow state-root check to a self-gating consensus rule, closes the phantom-deposit admission hole from 7.1.8, and recovers the ANM-2026-07 treasury-scam funds.
Jul 12, 2026
#release#consensus#fork#security#incident
Turns the node-local freeze-list into a network-wide consensus rule: from block 42,000 a block that moves funds from or to a code-committed frozen account is rejected.
Jul 10, 2026
#release#consensus#fork#security
From block 42,001 the per-block subsidy is split 85% miner / 15% Animica Foundation treasury. Total emission is unchanged; every balance-tracking node must upgrade.
Jul 10, 2026
#release#consensus#fork#emission
Every AI completion can carry a SHA3-256-hashed, ML-DSA-65-signed proof-of-inference receipt, verifiable and replayable offline. Non-consensus, additive, opt-in.
Jul 10, 2026
#release#ai#aicf#ml-dsa-65
Behind a reverse proxy every RPC request looked local, so wallet.send, wallet.createAddress and backupwallet were reachable from the internet. 6.1.0 treats forwarded requests as remote.
Jul 09, 2026
#release#security#rpc#incident
Fixes nodes stuck at height 38,914, returns funds swept in the wallet-export key leak to victim recovery addresses at block 39,584, and adds an operator freeze-list.
Jul 08, 2026
#release#node#sync#incident#security
Sets the coordinated mainnet activation height for the 6.0.0 rules — mandatory ML-DSA-65 signature verification and header root checks — and merges the hardening branch into main.
Jul 05, 2026
#release#consensus#fork#upgrade
Closes forgeable signature stubs, unverified block-import signatures, unchecked header roots and plaintext wallet keys. Consensus changes are forward-only and height-gated; no genesis reset.
Jul 04, 2026
#release#security#consensus#fork
A device-placement bug in the GPU miner's AI generation path took the PoW loop down with it; network hashrate decayed from about 2.7 GH/s to zero in an hour.
Jul 03, 2026
#release#mining#gpu#incident
Nodes could wedge on a locally mined tower of no-PoW blocks and appear to reset at random. 5.2.7 closes both sources of those blocks.
