1.6.1 is now available for download. This release adds Bladebit2, and its new disk based plotting support, as well as updated support for multi-asset trading through our Offers including NFT for NFT.

For Farmers:
Bladebit2 is coming out of Beta and is now available with support for disk based plotting along with the existing RAM based plotting accessible via the CLI or the GUI. For more information about the Bladebit2 update, see our blog post.

For End Users:
Offers update:

⚠️ Offers that are generated with this version 1.6.1 cannot be accepted with older versions of Chia. Chia 1.6.1 can accept any offer, including ones created with older versions.

  • We’ve completely redesigned the Offer creation experience so you can now create Offers and trade any combination of XCH, CATs, and NFTs
  • Spacescan has been added as another option to share your offers

NFT updates:

  • NFT for NFT trading is now available through the new Offers creation experience
  • Gallery now supports NFTs of video, audio, 3d, and document file formats so you can easily see and identify all of the NFTs that you own
  • When viewing an offer you can see the original minter DID to confirm you are buying from the correct collection
  • New setting to auto-hide or show NFTs that have been tagged as sensitive content
  • NFTs are now cached locally with controls to limit the amount of disk space used to help improve performance loading your NFT gallery

General update:

  • Wallet labeling so that you can assign a more memorable name to your wallet.
  • Windows installer has been updated to provide a more familiar installation experience on Windows.
  • Added beta logging state to enable capturing more details to help understand the wallet’s current conditions and make the log files more easily accessible
  • Added a beta logging state to enable capturing more details to help understand the wallet’s current conditions and make the log files more easily accessible

For Developers:

  • Improved message signing so you can use NFT ID, DID, wallet key to sign with in addition to using the HD path
  • New notification RPCs that can enable a user to send a notification to another wallet with a minimum spend to help prevent abuse. The initial use case is to support notifying NFT owners that they have an offer made on their NFT.

BTW, Security:
You may have heard about the recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities (GHSA-h8jm-2x53-xhp5, GHSA-8rwr-x37p-mx23). All native Chia installers use the 1.1.1 branch of OpenSSL and were never vulnerable to this attack. The concern only applies to source install power users, making it essential for these users to confirm they are not operating a vulnerable OpenSSL version.
We do suggest those operating on OpenSSL 3.0 and later ensure the patch status of your current version prior to running the source install as a security measure.
To check the version of OpenSSL on your system, you can run the following from your terminal:
python -c 'import ssl; print(ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION)')
