A few days ago, we had the first Ethereum bridge event we've seen in recent memory, and due to great collaboration and investigation among a number of core contributors, founders, and people supported by foundation funds (which are currently in need of significant community support), we quickly determined the root cause of the issue, instituted a fix, confirmed the cause, safeguarded the network against any meaningful consequence, and meanwhile, continued development of advanced protocol layers that are being described in work also supported by founder and core contributor donations. None of this response and coordination, including upcoming releases of advanced Verus Mobile features would have been possible without founder and core contributor work that has been supported by founders, the usual corporate contributors (looking at you Valu), and a small number of core community contributors, who either volunteer on a regular basis to improve our community or donate generously to the work that has been non-stop and ongoing on The Verus Project for 8 years running.
While we may not be able to always promote our own work, since we're busy on a daily basis doing it, and while the larger market of crypto languishes without much of the true innovation that beats in the heart of the Verus Community, there has never been a "done" state. With Verus, there has always been continuous improvement and innovation, not a guarantee or roadmap, not published targets for monitoring, just ongoing, brilliant contributions by people who have contributed funds and/or work. We have asked in the past for people to donate to development, infrastructure, support, and community work we all rely upon. We need your donations to continue this work.
Verus v1.2.14-2 is an urgent, critical/mandatory release that includes the following: Immediate (in 24 hours) soft fork to fully close any potential for future bridge or cross-chain issues caused by the event that was discovered, investigated, and solved immediately in this release Fix for the orders of magnitude performance improvement provided by the previous currencyindex features Greatly improved fee calculations for bridgekeeper and GUI versions of bridgekeeper, as well as performance and robustness improvements for Bridgekeeper functionality fundrawtransaction improvements that prepare for the upcoming Verus Mobile and Valu wallet releases, which have enhanced z-support, new encryption and application support protocols, and massive improvements that have been under development for more than 1–1/2 years PLEASE UPGRADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO ENSURE MAXIMUM NETWORK HEALTH, and please consider donating to the foundation and core development addresses in Verus or any currency you can provide.
