About this release

Dash Core 24.0.1 is the first patch version of the Dash Core 24.0.x series. It fixes the problem that has delayed the v24 network upgrade on mainnet: LLMQ_400_85 quorums were failing to form because slower masternodes could not finish the commit step of the DKG in time. DKG members now keep verification vectors in memory instead of reloading them from disk, so a masternode completes that step in a fraction of the time as soon as it upgrades, even in quorums whose other members still run v24.0.0.

It also changes how masternodes vote on superblock triggers to protect superblocks from being left unpaid when the set of approved proposals changes (this protection takes effect as masternodes upgrade), and fixes several other bugs, including a governance assertion failure after some reorgs, a network thread spinning at full CPU, and a REST request that could terminate the node.

Like v24.0.0, this release carries the v24 network upgrade (hard fork) and is mandatory for all nodes.

• Masternodes and evonodes should upgrade to 24.0.1 as soon as possible, and before block 2,573,818 (around November 17, 2026), when voting opens for the next superblock.
• All other nodes must run v24.0.0 or later before v24 activates, and upgrading to 24.0.1 is strongly recommended. The v24 deployment parameters are unchanged; activation now waits on an LLMQ_400_85 quorum signing the EHF signal, so it will come later than the earliest date given for v24.0.0.

Upgrading from v24.0.0 needs no further steps. If you are upgrading from v23.1.x or older, read "How to Upgrade" in the v24.0.0 release notes first.
