v0.5.0-beta1 — testnet-beta pilot

Citrate testnet-beta — pilot release (v0.5.0-beta1)

First public binary release of the citrate-chain node for partner onboarding.
Chain ID 40204 (testnet-beta). RPC: https://rpc.citrate.ai.

One-command install (Linux + macOS, for CitrateNetwork org members)

gh auth login   # once, if you haven't
gh api repos/CitrateNetwork/citrate-labs/contents/scripts/install.sh --jq .content | base64 -d | bash

Or clone + run:

gh repo clone CitrateNetwork/citrate-labs
bash citrate-labs/scripts/install.sh

The installer detects OS/arch, verifies SHA-256 via the gh CLI, writes
~/.citrate/node.toml with the baked-in bootnodes (boot{1,2,3}.citrate.ai),
and installs a systemd user service (Linux) or launchd agent (macOS).

Windows install (manual until Tier-2 .msi)

1. gh release download v0.5.0-beta1 --repo CitrateNetwork/citrate-chain --pattern '*windows*'
2. Unzip to a directory on %PATH% (e.g. %USERPROFILE%\.citrate\bin).
3. Copy a testnet-beta config to %USERPROFILE%\.citrate\node.toml or pass --config.
4. citrate-node.exe

PowerShell installer + Tier-2 .msi ships in v0.5.0-beta2.

Platforms — all 5 targets live ✅

Target	Status	Notes
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu	✅	Native build on ubuntu-22.04 in CI with vendored OpenSSL. GLIBC ≥ 2.35 (Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, RHEL 9+).
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu	✅	cross-rs build via qemu on boot-1 (DO does not currently offer ARM droplets in this account). GLIBC ≥ 2.30 (Ubuntu 20.04+/Debian 11+).
x86_64-apple-darwin	✅	Full set (node, cli, wallet, faucet) from CI. Unsigned — right-click → Open on first launch.
aarch64-apple-darwin	✅	Full set. Unsigned.
x86_64-pc-windows-msvc	✅	Full set as .zip. Built with vendored OpenSSL via Strawberry Perl in CI. SmartScreen may warn — More info → Run anyway.

All four CI-built archives are signed with cosign (keyless OIDC); see the
.pem + .sig sidecars next to each archive. The aarch64-linux build is
unsigned because it was produced out-of-band (manual cross-build); a CI
matrix entry is tracked for v0.5.0-beta2.

Notes

• This is a pilot release — no audit, no commercial SLA. See
  citrate-labs/RELEASE_CEREMONY_HANDOFF.md for provenance.
• All four x86_64-linux/aarch64-darwin/x86_64-darwin/windows archives now
  ship the full binary set (node + cli + wallet + faucet). aarch64-linux
  ships only the unified citrate-node for this release — auxiliary
  Linux ARM binaries land in beta2 when the cross-build adds them.
• Tier-2 packaging (.dmg / .msi / .deb / .AppImage) ships in v0.5.0-beta2.
