Cosanta Core v19 Released: Performance Masternodes and Staking Core Overhaul

Cosanta has released Cosanta Core v19, a major network upgrade focused on performance, stability, and long-term scalability.

View Release Details

This release introduces key architectural changes and marks an important milestone in the evolution of the Cosanta network.

Key Features of Cosanta Core v19

Performance Masternodes

Cosanta Core v19 introduces Performance Masternodes, designed to improve network efficiency and reliability. This enhancement strengthens the role of masternodes in maintaining network integrity and performance.

Staking Core Optimization

One of the most significant changes is the complete rework of the staking core.

• Staking is no longer part of the net process
• It now runs as a separate component
• Improved stability and performance

This architectural separation reduces risks and simplifies future upgrades.

Mandatory Update for All Nodes

This update is mandatory for all network participants.

Nodes that do not upgrade to Cosanta Core v19 risk:

• Falling out of sync with the network
• Reduced participation or rewards
• Operational issues

What’s Next

Next block reward increase is expected on May 4

The network continues to evolve with a dynamic emission model and ongoing improvements.

Conclusion

Cosanta Core v19 is a major step forward, improving architecture, stability, and scalability of the network.

Hi Mate, you say that staking is now not part of the net process - what is the net process then?

Hi Mate, you say that staking is now not part of the net process - what is the net process then?

Hi mate. By “net process” I mean the networking thread / peer-to-peer message handling path: accepting peer connections, reading and sending P2P messages, relaying blocks and transactions, peer management, etc.

Previously staking work could run through that same execution path, so staking could compete with network message processing or be affected by it. We separated staking into its own dedicated thread/loop. The node networking layer still announces and relays blocks as usual, but the actual staking logic no longer runs inside the net thread.

So in short: “net process” = P2P networking/message processing; staking now has its own worker path and only hands produced blocks back to the normal validation/relay flow.

Cosanta Core 22.1.3 Released

This is a mandatory update!

Previous versions of Cosanta Core are no longer supported by the main network. All users, masternode operators, and services must upgrade to version 22.1.3.

Key changes:

• Added support for Asset Unlock transactions and updated Platform withdrawal validation rules.
• Enabled encrypted BIP324/v2 P2P connections by default, with automatic fallback to v1 for incompatible peers.
• Improved network security and resistance to eclipse and partition attacks.
• Improved deterministic masternode list and quorum rotation performance.
• Added persistent UTXO locking that survives wallet restarts.
• Improved interface responsiveness when working with large wallets.
• Updated platform compatibility, build tooling, and release packaging.

Before upgrading:

Fully shut down the previous version of Cosanta Core before replacing the binaries. Downgrading from version 22.1.3 to a version older than 22.0.0 may require a full blockchain reindex.

Please note that the macOS version is now distributed as a ZIP archive instead of a DMG.
