Proxima v1.6.2: fixes the consensus bug behind the rollback of 2026-11-09, and the sequencer CPU regression of v1.6.1p1. No ledger change; recommended for every node.

  • Ledger coverage calculation: the code deviated from the whitepaper's model of ledger coverage; these deviations are fixed. Nodes and sequencers now compare branches by coverage measured at one slot, halved for every slot of age, so a branch built on an old state can no longer replace the younger lineage. Normal operation is unchanged.
  • Sequencer CPU: the stale-milestone check added in v1.6.1p1 no longer loads the CPU; busy sequencers produce their branches again.
  • Runs side by side with v1.6.1 and v1.6.1p1. Wallets, miners and seekers: nothing changes.
  • Still on v1.6.0? Install v1.6.2 directly, before slot 196000 (Tuesday 2026-11-10, about 12:03 UTC).
