hack yourself before other do (the policy we ourselves adhere to).
fyi: an automated fuzzing search engine based on slop generators (by @octralex) found critical crap in ALL projects we've ever interacted with (since there's already context), some have been fixed, others haven't been revealed yet and may not be, given the mixed reactions.

a new unscheduled release is now available for vals. please upgrade your nodes (a lot has been done on recovery and sync + an old bug from an earlier implementation at the vm level has been fixed) *
* the node could process the same epoch twice, and the root at that moment was different, when building and checking proposals at the consensus level, it was specified as 32 raw bytes (the earliest implementation from the end of 2024),and when using the epoch from the head, it was transmitted as a 64-hex string, so the bug was found during pre-release main net testing for mem compatibility of different program envs
upgrading is easy -
sh controls/upgrade.sh

Our agentic "Loops" infra is getting better: a serious devnet inflation bug was caught immediately upon activation and with no impact on mainnet.
We also ran Loops on friendly privacy/ZK/FHE-adjacent projects, and responsibly disclosed our findings. Write-up coming once safe.

lambda dropping heavy again 💙
this time: private browser w/ oct://, one-click circle deploys, 15-sec ML init, and mainnet is officially the only focus now
read full 👇
everyone can upgrade gradually, everything is as usual:
sh controls/upgrade.sh
sh controls/upgrade.sh --apply --wait-seconds 3600
sh controls/stat.sh
fyi: we don't expect any more significant upgrades (if there are new markers, they will be minor fixes), from now all attention is on the mainnet, validators who have been with us all this time will be able to claim the coins mined on the devnet
what's potentially interesting about Mainnet expected in the near future:
- advanced circles (deployment of applications in any language that compiles in WASM),
- a multi-tier circular network of resources. Web services on top of the oct:// proto, decentralized programs, databases, llm models as a service with a managed access level with the ability to provide a public gateway, storage, etc. a marketplace of demo progs, circles, and aml, rust, C++, ocaml examples, which we've been working on for the last six months, one-click deployment of anything from a website to an api circle with a cluster of other programs, etc)
- a new client with a new thing inside, not webcli, but a Firefox browser with native support for circles and domains in the oct:// space, with public tunneling gates (the circle gateway randomly tunnels traffic from different sources through a otbP2P net, hiding all info about the requester, the history is untraceable, making it impossible to know the addr from which the request came, there's also a total mode where the gateway uses a proxy server as an intermediate encoder, and internal traffic goes through the PVAC data streaming proto*). It's a pretty interesting thing + you can also optionally add a @torproject to the intermediate membrane (an example of which has already been published earlier)
* PVAC data streaming proto - the untitled shit, which is not yet publicly available, will be released separately once we complete security testing.
ps: we also spent time researching a rather complex topic, as part of the team was ML-pilled, As you know, circles and nodes support Q algebra, meaning nodes can handle dense ML, not just matrix mul, but a full cycle, so open weights are quite heavy, initialization can take up to half an hour, etc., but we found a way to do this in 15 sec instead of half an hour for a rather cumbersome model (technical details with examples will be published in a separate article later), the module's mechanics extend beyond the @octra arch and can be used separately in other projects
ps 2: we also spent time on the interface, docs, and site-design (we'll update it soon)*
* regarding the design, it's absolutely pointless crap (my personal opinion, different from those who appreciate beautiful interfaces) that has no value for system protocols, but people like it, which means it's time to release something nice
as always, quick links are at hand:
- webcli github.com/octra-labs/webcli
- amlc (AML compliller) github.com/octra-labs/amlc
- libv_litecore, which is a lite node github.com/octra-labs/lite_n…
thank you all for your attention
fyi: the new type of HFHE worker performs 64 operations in a row without changing the result - a cold hfhe compute takes about 2.14 sec, repeated ones about 8.4 m sec (previously it took from 1 to 3 minutes)
lite node gets a solid update (or rather, already got it, release marker is on the way, validators will need to update), this release included a lot of work on circles (atomicity, native transfers etc), nested programs (both ways with circles), improvements for the hfhe worker with a developed actor model (ported from the bootstrap node), rule activation roughly after 10k epochs, everyone should update (mainnet gets this update too)
with every step the lite node is already getting harder and harder to call "lite", with the storage module update and gpu interface for deep compute chains on top of circles it will become indistinguishable from a standard node.
among the interesting bits - the proof model is also expanded, we decided to add validated verif methods in Coq from our early 2022 work for the sake of culture
a couple more words on the PQ hysteria of llm slopers and doomerism, to clear questions we decided not to wait for the start of 2027, but to start rolling out the update on signatures, hashing and other stuff on lpn + our hash-based basis (where appropriate) already now with gradual activation so everyone can comfortably update signature format etc (detailed plan will be published a bit later, still figuring out how to do it seamlessly)

private transfers for ERC20s and gas coins, with the amount, sender and recipient hidden
fully open source, locally runnable, no trusted setup
octra coded
the test app, which we plan to release first on sepolia evm + octra devnet, and then add other networks, will allow sending ERC20 assets and gas coins between participants without disclosing the amount, sender, and recipient, outside the octra network (while octra is used as a computing layer for encrypted data)
it will be available completely open source, the application can be run locally (using the same principle as webcli), no trust environment, sharing keys, etc.

the node core has been further updated and now includes several useful things (+ amlc):
-new format for snapshots ( now the certificate is signed into the stage before durable publication (fsync, rename, parent fsync), and ledger restore follows the same order,previously, there were many problems with this, which sometimes led to mismatches, so now this problem is completely gone)
- an additional thing also applies to recovery mode, pending finality verified against epoch selected validator sets at restart;
- the circles runtime env has been improved also, proposer side turn and refill policy (not a validity rule);
- the virtual machine also receives improvements, content keyed program decode cache (64 entries, 32 Mb) and large int pool (512 entries, 32 Mb ), output-identical + byte work metering introduced\
- R1CS has also undergone some changes- for example the verifier builds constraints without witness values and releases weight vectors early, and some others;
- we have also added a large amount of Coq mods to the repo that had not been published before (the volume of public formal verification for each item becomes more accessible for external audit; previously we did not open our Coq modules, later we reconsidered this at the request of several researchers, and over time this will be filled in completely),
- the test dir has also been expanded,
- the Vm and the compiler have received byte work mode (written, erased, copied, allocated and scanned bytes priced in effort), overflow checked mem spans, and integer constants decoded once per image, etc
all vals should definitely upgrade their nodes, since there are no new major dev net updates expected, and most, all the fixes do not require coordinated activation, so there is no critical rush to upgrade, but for the sake of culture and hygiene it is definitely worth it
the new release marker is also available, if you can't use it, you can always rebuild it yourself and connect to the network:

compiler: github.com/octra-labs/amlc – at London, England

Here are all seven Xpectra going up for auction tomorrow.
Three formats: sealed bid, descending clock, and rising auction. Take a good look, one of these isn't quite like the rest.
See you at the gallery: gallery.xpectrum.xyz/
Xpectrum.
I’ve joined the QMS waitlist and received my QMS Identity Pass. 🔗 qms.finance/pass/pentrutimp
I just tried buying $CAT on @octra, you can also simply connect your @0xio_xyz or Orion wallet. While waiting for the mainnet upgrade and network encryption features to be enabled.

Tokenize the world, on Avalanche 🔺
BREAKING: AVALANCHE SURPASSES ALL OTHER CHAINS COMBINED IN 7D TOKENIZED STOCK INFLOWS
Avalanche saw $131.2M in tokenized stock inflows over the past 7 days, led by Securitize. This was an 8x over the second highest chain by inflows, and more than all chains combined.

BREAKING: Goldman Sachs is bringing its $100B flagship Treasury fund to Avalanche
The fund will be offered through Lynq, a private, permissioned Avalanche L1 used by 30+ institutional digital asset firms, including B2C2, Wintermute, Galaxy, FalconX, and Fireblocks.
This gives institutions a way to put cash to work between trades and earn yield without leaving the infrastructure they already use.

the mainnet is currently undergoing an update, once complete, all HFHE ops, new @AppliedLang features, a new program layer, an updated circle viewer, and more will become available (the webcli will need to be rebuilt for this) + cleaning things up and fixing bugs using the ML fuzzer tool @octralex developed (he might release it as a third party product later it seems) *
