⚠️ Critical Node Update: Upgrade to v1.2.0 Required

A hardfork is scheduled on Mainnet for January 20-21, 2026. All node operators must update to v1.2.0 before this date.

What's changing after the fork:

• Transactions that fill or conclude orders will require additional information (initial and current balances)
• Pool decommissioning transactions will need current staker balance data
• Token issuance transactions may generate new token IDs differently

📢 Important Notes:
• Avoid creating order fills, pool decommissions, or token issuance transactions near the fork height
• Simple transfers and most other transactions will not be affected
• Full node resync and API server resync will occur after the upgrade

The numbers tell a story most people miss.

- Global Real Estate: $397 Trillion
- Total Crypto Market Cap: $3.2 Trillion
- Projected RWA Market by 2030: $16-30 Trillion

We talk about crypto like it's massive, but the entire market is barely 1% the size of real estate alone. Hundreds of trillions in real estate, bonds, commodities, and private credit sit outside blockchain rails.

Tokenization is the bridge for Real World Assets (RWAs) to bring physical assets on-chain, making them accessible, tradable, and composable in ways traditional finance never could.

In the first half of 2025, the RWA market grew by over 260%. Institutions like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs are already building tokenized funds. If even a fraction of that $397 trillion moves on-chain, the implications are massive.

Want to understand what RWAs are, how tokenization works, and why this matters for Bitcoin?

We're partnering with Novastro to bring RWAs to multiple chains 🤝

Novastro is building a modular ledger layer for real-world assets, anchoring issuance on Ethereum while enabling high-performance trading across Arbitrum, Sui, and Solana. Their multi-ledger architecture eliminates RWA silos and maximizes DeFi composability.

Their modular ledger layer + our Bitcoin L2 infrastructure = a new foundation 🏦 for tokenized real estate, commodities, and equities.
