version history
Public changelog for QoreChain testnet releases.
v1.3.0 -- Rollup Development Kit
Release focus: Native rollup infrastructure for sovereign and shared-security rollup deployments.
x/rdk module -- Full Rollup Development Kit with four settlement paradigms: optimistic, zk, pessimistic, and sovereign
5 preset profiles -- Pre-configured rollup templates for DeFi, gaming, NFT, social, and general-purpose use cases
Native data availability -- On-chain DA layer with blob storage, retention management, and pruning lifecycle
EndBlocker auto-finalization -- Automatic batch finalization when the challenge window expires, with no operator intervention required
AI-assisted profile selection --
suggest-profilequery that recommends an optimal rollup configuration based on the intended use caseMultilayer integration -- Rollups register as layers in the multilayer architecture, inheriting routing, anchoring, and challenge mechanics
Bank escrow lifecycle -- Operator stake is held in escrow during rollup operation and released upon clean shutdown or forfeited on slashing
33 unit tests -- Comprehensive test coverage for rollup creation, batch submission, challenge flow, finalization, DA storage, and lifecycle transitions
v1.2.0 -- IBC & Bridges
Release focus: Cross-chain connectivity and advanced account abstractions.
25 cross-chain connections -- 8 IBC channels and 17 QoreChain Bridge (QCB) connections to external networks
x/babylon module -- BTC restaking integration enabling Bitcoin holders to participate in QoreChain staking security
x/abstractaccount module -- Smart account framework with programmable spending rules, session keys, and custom authentication logic
x/fairblock module -- Threshold Identity-Based Encryption (tIBE) stub for MEV-resistant transaction encryption
x/gasabstraction module -- Multi-token gas payment supporting native QOR, IBC-bridged USDC, and IBC-bridged ATOM
5-lane TX prioritization -- Transaction lanes ordered by priority: system, governance, staking, bridge, and general
Hermes relayer configs -- Pre-configured IBC relayer configurations for all supported IBC channels
Bridge-to-burn integration -- Bridge fees are routed through the burn module's 4-way fee distribution (validator, burn, treasury, staker)
v1.1.0 -- PQC Hybrid Signatures
Release focus: Post-quantum cryptographic security and algorithm agility.
Dual Ed25519 + ML-DSA-87 signatures -- Every transaction carries both a classical and a post-quantum signature, verified in the AnteHandler chain
3 enforcement modes -- Configurable hybrid signature enforcement: off (mode 0), permissive (mode 1, PQC optional), mandatory (mode 2, PQC required)
Auto-registration -- PQC public keys are automatically registered on the first hybrid transaction, eliminating a separate registration step
SHAKE-256 hash foundation -- All PQC-related hashing operations use SHAKE-256 (SHA-3 family) for quantum-resistant address derivation
TEE attestation interfaces -- Trusted Execution Environment attestation support for proving PQC key generation integrity
Federated learning interfaces -- Interface definitions for privacy-preserving federated model training across validator nodes
Algorithm agility framework -- Pluggable algorithm registry allowing future PQC algorithms to be added via governance without a chain upgrade
v1.0.0 -- Genesis (Tokenomics Engine)
Release focus: Chain launch with full tokenomics, multi-VM execution, and AI-assisted operations.
x/burn module -- 10-channel fee burn mechanism with 4-way distribution: 40% validators, 30% burn, 20% treasury, 10% stakers
x/xqore module -- Governance staking derivative with tiered early-unlock penalties and PvP rebase redistribution
x/inflation module -- Epoch-based minting with annual decay from 8% initial rate to a 2% floor, capped at maximum supply
RL Consensus module -- Reinforcement learning agent (PPO) for dynamic chain parameter tuning with circuit breaker safety controls
Triple-pool CPoS -- Classified Proof-of-Stake with Emerald, Sapphire, and Ruby validator pools weighted by reputation scores
QDRW governance -- Dynamic Reward Weighting system allowing governance-approved adjustments to reward distribution across pools
EVM + CosmWasm + SVM runtimes -- Three concurrent execution environments: Ethereum Virtual Machine, CosmWasm smart contracts, and Solana Virtual Machine
Cross-VM bridge -- Seamless message passing and asset transfers between EVM, CosmWasm, and SVM runtimes within a single block
PQC Rust FFI -- High-performance post-quantum cryptography library written in Rust with C FFI bindings for the Go chain binary
AI sidecar -- Off-chain gRPC service providing advanced inference for fraud detection, fee estimation, and network optimization
Docker Compose -- Full containerized deployment with multi-validator testnet, sidecar service, and block indexer
Block indexer -- WebSocket-based block listener with PostgreSQL storage for historical query and analytics
