The FCMP++ CARROT Beta Stressnet v2.0 has been released! github.com/seraphis-migratio… This is the v2.0 release of the FCMP++ and Carrot beta stressnet software. This release includes a hard fork from the beta 1.x network, which fixes a consensus issue with the reduced block long-term-median window. This release includes an automatic rollback mechanism, which means that you can run the daemon with an existing beta stressnet database. Because of this rollback, existing wallets must be re-scanned from restore height. This may require manual user invention to trigger the rescan. Notable new fixes include: - Connecting to an unrestricted RPC when the pool is large (#360) - Cross-platform wallet to daemon RPC (#370) - More accurate restore height estimate on wallet creation (#401) - Better connectivity after deep reorgs (#385) - Tx relay v2 bug fix (#384) The FCMP++ and Carrot beta 2.0 stressnet will hard fork from the current testnet on May 26, 2026, at block 3012000. Included below is the software you can use to participate in the beta stressnet. FCMP++ is a proposed upgrade to replace ring signatures with membership proofs that span the whole chain. When spending Monero, instead of making a ring signature proving you own 1 of 16 Monero outputs, you make a proof that you own 1 of the 150 million+ Monero outputs from across the entire Monero blockchain. Carrot is a proposed upgrade to Monero's addressing protocol, bringing new security, privacy, and usability features, while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing addresses. Both FCMP++ and Carrot have been in development for over 2 years, while research, security reviews, and audits have progressed in tandem. This beta stressnet will be the second live network testing the FCMP++ and Carrot integration open to the public.
