PulseVM v1.0.0

PulseVM v1.0.0 is the official 1.0 release and the first stable release capable of running XPR Network's Mainnet state on Metal Blockchain.

This milestone completes the end-to-end path for importing XPR state, restoring it into Arena, replaying and validating canonical XPR history, following live irreversible blocks, and serving applications through PulseVM JSON-RPC, nodeos-compatible HTTP endpoints, and SHiP.

Important

PulseVM v1.0.0 uses rpcchainvm protocol 45 and is tested against MetalGo v1.14.2-tahoe. MetalGo v1.13.5 uses protocol 43 and is not compatible with this release.

XPR Mainnet readiness

  • Added a Leap 5 portable snapshot reader and the XPR chainbase export/import pipeline.
  • Imports accounts, permissions, contract code and ABIs, contract tables and indexes, resource state, producer schedules, protocol features, and deferred transactions.
  • Restores imported state into Arena using validated migration checkpoints and manifests.
  • Binds each imported checkpoint to its target genesis, preventing nodes from silently starting with mismatched state.
  • Adds reproducible state fingerprints, streamed validation, parity checks, and five-node replay gates.
  • Replays canonical XPR Mainnet history with block, signature, transaction, authorization, receipt, schedule, and resource-accounting validation.
  • Supports resumable full-history replay, durable checkpoints, and continuous following of newly available irreversible blocks.
  • Exposes replayed state and history to Hyperion through SHiP.

Major work landed through #53, #61, #118, and #119.

Antelope and XPR compatibility

  • Added protocol-feature scheduling, validation, persistence, activation, and upgrade safeguards.
  • Added XPR-compatible WASM host functions and protocol-gated behavior.
  • Added R1 and WebAuthn authority, signature, import, recovery, and required-key support.
  • Added activated mod_exp, alt_bn128_add, alt_bn128_mul, and alt_bn128_pair cryptographic intrinsics.
  • Completed deferred-transaction execution, retirement, authorization, failure handling, and sidecar support.
  • Improved producer-schedule activation, action receipts, transaction serialization, RAM billing, and historical Leap replay parity.
  • Added nodeos-compatible /v1/chain/* HTTP endpoints while preserving the existing PulseVM JSON-RPC API.
  • Accepts legacy EOS public-key formats and common nodeos request representations.

See protocol features, XPR host functions, R1 and WebAuthn support, and the nodeos compatibility layer.

Security and consensus hardening

  • Enforces transaction authorization while validating peer-produced blocks.
  • Adds deterministic metering for bulk-memory operations and strict WASM memory and table limits.
  • Hardens ABI decoding against unbounded allocation and malformed recursive input.
  • Validates state roots during state sync.
  • Fixes resource-quota bypasses and strengthens mempool admission.
  • Enforces K1 signature canonicality, rejects duplicate recovered keys, and limits transaction signature counts.
  • Prevents dangling permission links and invalid permission deletion.
  • Preserves context-free transaction data and opaque authority keys.
  • Hardens wallet encryption and updates project dependencies.

Notable security work includes #70, #72, #73, #75, #82, #83, and #87.

Performance and operations

  • Pipelines block authentication and batches replay I/O, durability, and authorization work.
  • Reuses audited WASM instances, persists compiled artifacts, and precompiles replay batches.
  • Reduces mempool lock contention and improves expiry pruning.
  • Adds node-local subjective billing for failed transactions.
  • Adds per-table RAM profiling and optional continuous contract RAM metrics.
  • Adds EC2 setup, replay supervision, archive catch-up, validation, and recovery tooling.
  • Adds coverage enforcement and expanded unit, replay, and end-to-end testing.
  • Provides release binaries for Linux AMD64 and ARM64, built against Ubuntu 22.04 for glibc 2.35 compatibility.

Operator notes

  • Use MetalGo v1.14.2-tahoe or another build supporting rpcchainvm protocol 45.
  • Imported checkpoints must be accompanied by their matching manifest.
  • Never use XPR Mainnet production authorities for local testing. Use the provided test-authority tool to create a disposable checkpoint copy.
  • Continuous contract RAM monitoring is opt-in and disabled by default.
  • This release provides the VM capability to run XPR Mainnet state. A production migration or cutover must still use a validated export and an operator-approved governance and system-contract rollout.
