Bitcoin Core v26.0 Release

Bitcoin Core version v26.0 has been officially released, introducing an array of enhancements and optimizations. This latest version is now accessible via the official Bitcoin Core website. The update brings new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements, alongside updated translations for wider accessibility.

Key Features and Improvements

Among the significant changes in Bitcoin Core v26.0 are updates to the P2P and network protocols. The release includes experimental support for the v2 transport protocol as defined in BIP324. This advancement aims to bolster resistance against eclipse attacks and improve network-level defenses against partition attacks.

Bitcoin nodes now strive to maintain at least one outbound connection to each reachable network, enhancing network robustness. Additionally, a new Remote Procedure Call (RPC), "submitpackage," has been introduced, allowing users to submit raw hex transactions to the mempool for evaluation. Notably, the ability to create legacy wallets has been discontinued, streamlining the wallet creation process.

Cryptocurrency Adoption in Lugano

In a move towards broader cryptocurrency adoption, the Swiss city of Lugano now permits the payment of taxes and other municipal invoices using Bitcoin and the Tether stablecoin. Payments can be made by scanning a QR code available on standard Swiss invoices. This initiative aligns Lugano with other Swiss jurisdictions like Zug and Zermatt, which also accept cryptocurrency payments.

These developments highlight the growing integration of cryptocurrency into conventional financial systems and underscore the continuous evolution and adoption of Bitcoin and other digital assets.
