v1.5.8 - Replicas

replicate.mp4

v1.5.8

Covers everything since v1.5.5.

Major 📜

🔁 Validator replicas

Run one key pack on several physical nodes — exactly one produces at a time.

• REPLICAS=1@ip:port,... + REPLICA_ID + REPLICA_PSK
• Encrypted heartbeats + majority-ack leader election — two replicas can never lead at once
• Double-sign fencing via a cluster-wide signed-height high-water mark, fsync'd to disk
• Failover in ~2-3s; a sub-quorum group halts instead of forking

🔏 Signed auto-updates

Updates are fail-closed: no valid signature, no install.

• Releases ship amadeusd.sig — version + sha256, signed with Ed25519
• Verified against a pubkey compiled into the binary
• Anti-rollback floor — an older signed release can never be replayed
• TLS verify_peer, crash-proof at boot

⛏️ Epoch 767 — cheaper sols

• COST_PER_SOL removed — sols pay only real gas
• Difficulty target 380k → 180k

🚲 Epoch 771 — genesis validators retire

• The 67 peddlebike validators are no longer auto-seeded
• Validator set becomes purely vault-backed (≥1m AMA) + top solvers

💸 Validator commission

• Validators set a commission (bps) on their backers' vault yield
• Raises queue 3 epochs; visible in stats (incl. pending)

📊 Supply + validator stats

• total_supply, total_locked, circulating in the stats API
• Per-validator: commission, staked AMA, sol count

🧱 Fully static binary

• OpenSSL + zstd statically linked — no dynamic crypto/compression deps
• MnesiaKV gains per-table fsync

Minor

• ComputorGen: solves round-robin across all node keys; legacy trainer paths removed
• Testnet mirrors mainnet: fresh testnets seed vault-backed validators from genesis; multi-node clusters supported
• Hashbuilder: one-shot background rebuild_filters / rebuild_tx_count, resumable
• 10% participation floor — emission can't multiply by zero
• Fix: mainnet boot crash in UDP socket init
• Fix: broken TLS partial_chain callbacks
