🚀 Geelong Upgrade is Live — 10x TPS Boost for Dingocoin!
The highly anticipated Geelong upgrade is here, taking Dingocoin to the next level!
With this release, transaction capacity climbs from ~33 TPS to approximately
180 TPS — a 10x increase — all while maintaining Dingocoin’s proven Proof-of-Work security.
⚠️ Mandatory Update Details This is a
required upgrade with a scheduled fork at block
2,254,540.
All node operators and service providers
must update to v1.18.0.0 to remain on the main chain.
💾 Important: Disk Usage Advisory The Geelong upgrade introduces significantly higher throughput, which may cause rapid growth in your node’s data directory size.
We strongly recommend enabling
pruned mode unless you require the full blockchain for archival or infrastructure needs.
To enable pruning: Add this to your
dingocoin.conf file to limit blockchain size (~550 MB).

It is essential to note that while the fork height has been set, activation will not occur unless a larger block size is triggered. During this period, some nodes will operate with a 100-block reorg depth while updated nodes use a 40-block depth. This mismatch can lead to chain splits and exposes the network to potential 51% attacks. To be absolutely clear, this behavior is the result of decisions by the current development team and is outside of my control.
