zend v6.0.0

Zend 6.0.0 has the same deprecation schedule as Zend 5.0.7. It is expected to deprecate on Mainnet at block #1872068, which will occur on November 13th 2025, at approximately 06:00 AM UTC.

Important Notes

This version is a release designed to support the Horizen migration by introducing the following features (implemented in #662):

  • a hard fork (HF) that prevents the propagation of all transactions except coinbase transactions across the network. (Note: certificate processing will continue to function as usual.)

  • the fork will activate on mainnet at block height 1807300 around 2025-07-23 04:30:00 UTC.

  • the fork is active on testnet since block height 1700420, mined around 2025-06-16 08:00:00 UTC.

  • a new optional configuration flag that accepts a block height value. Once the node reaches this specified height, it will cease processing any new incoming blocks.
