v0.16.0
This update introduces the HFA feature as the first step in Cryptix Fastchain technology. HFA is a fast system for transaction visibility.

The update is not mandatory — existing nodes will continue to function as before, including the Go node.
The system is currently adaptive and optional, and everything remains fully backward compatible.
However, I strongly recommend enabling and using HFA.
HFA
To activate the feature, simply download the new node version (Rust) and start it with the following arguments:
--hfa
Enables the HFA fast rail for this process (this alone is sufficient)
Optional:
--hfa-cpu=
Sets the CPU low-water ratio for HFA (0.0 < value <= 1.0)
Example: --hfa-cpu=0.9
--hfa-microblock-interval-ms-normal=
Defines the HFA microblock interval in milliseconds while operating in normal mode
Default: 50
You can also explicitly disable it if needed:
--no-hfa
Forces HFA to be disabled (overrides config)
Datacenter Mode
There is also a new startup argument to prevent false-positive alerts in datacenter or hosting environments (e.g. due to port scanning):
--datacenter
