v0.8.2

Evernode Release: v0.8.2

New Features and Enhancements

• Disabled the auto-update host feature for a more interactive and failure-prone update experience.
• Improved retry logic during installation:
  • Internal retries on transaction failures.
  • Users can now retry, abort, or rollback installation.
• Added a command to deregister hosts directly:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s deregister

  This command deregisters the host from Evernode without installation.
• Introduced a max transaction fee setting in the installation and CLI configurations:
  • Users can specify the maximum transaction fee on installation for use in case of network congestion.
  • CLI support allows users to configure the maximum transaction fee on the already installed host machine:

    evernode config extrafee <max trx fee>

• Introduced a fallback xahaud setting in the installation and CLI configurations:
  • Users can specify fallback xahaud servers on installation for use in case of primary node connection failures.
  • CLI support enables users to configure fallback xahaud servers on an already installed host machine.
    • <server url>: Comma-separated list of xahaud fallback server websocket URLs

    evernode config xahaud-fallback <server url>

Updated Rules

• New reputation logic to reduce host reputation to 0 based on selected guidelines.
• If the reputation is 0, the host is not eligible for rewards in upcoming moments.
  • Host reputation will be reduced to 0 based on the following conditions:
    • If the host contract instance count is less than the min instance count configuration.
      • Min instance count configuration is currently set at 3.
    • If the host lease fee exceeds the max lease amount configuration.
      • Max lease amount configuration is the estimated host reward amount for the moment calculated using the formula: (reward amount for the moment / host count) * 110%.
• Banning installation and update for Sanctioned Entities mentioned in Evernode license
• Accumulated rewards are now sent relative to the host registration time.
  • Hosts will receive accumulated rewards every 24 moments after their registration moment.

How to Install/Update

• Update existing host:
  Note: The evernode update command will not fetch the latest version. You need to execute the following command:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s update

• Fresh install:

  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/EvernodeXRPL/evernode-test-resources/main/sashimono/installer/evernode.sh | sudo bash -s install
