Hey, guys. Today is, Friday, 04/18/2025, and this is this week's development update. Don't have a whole lot to report on the new development front. I've been doing a lot of rigorous testing. I have 5.1.5-rc13, I think -8 now, build number eight, out.

I've been continuing to run address sanitizer and fix any bugs that come up. Also, thread sanitizer to make sure that I'm checking for race conditions. I'm finishing up the build out. I've changed my architecture for how we're gonna be doing the the mint for the new funds, But that is, much more simplified now, thankfully. So I've also been working on synchronization of some certain values that are calculated through the actual chain state, and that's all looking really nice and solid now.

I've deployed a couple of bootstraps on some new nodes. I also got the sequential sync pretty much ready and polished, so that's gonna be something that's gonna be enabled by default for everyone on the newest updates. And I've also been preparing and finishing, the initial stages of our architectural development for one or two use cases and developing the funding for the artificial intelligence one and getting those presentations ready and the white paper and then getting us ready to have this hard fork deployed. So as I said earlier, once we go to beta out, we'll probably run that beta in public for about a week, and then we'll be ready for a full release, which will have a, timer in it. So most likely, we'll have the time lock set for two weeks after the release of the initial beta, which is gonna be a 6.0 beta.

And then we will, let it run for a week and then really set it to full. And then it'll be one week from there before it activates. And once it activates, we will get all of these new pursuits moving. So I believe, TradeOgre is up and running. I'd have to double check with them, but I've gotten them to update.

I got them online, making sure everything's solid there. And like I said, all of the address sanitizer messages are coming back clean now, so it should be much more stable. What that means to you is, if you've ever had, you know, the wallet potentially go down over long periods of time, this prevents that from happening anymore. So it's it's very solid under the hood. I found a lot of very, very, very important bugs to resolve over the last week or two.

So a lot of it is just watch and wait in this, these ending phases of this testing. And I'm getting the test net ready to go and doing a final test and activation, and then we shall be ready to release the beta for 6.0 instead of 5.1.5 and get it packed and shipped and ready to go out the door. So thank you again, guys, for your patience this week, and, I will give another update next week.
