We are happy to announce the release of 24.0.2. This release includes binaries that you can download below.
About this release
Dash Core 24.0.2 is the second patch version of the Dash Core 24.0.x series. It fixes a memory leak introduced in v24.0.0: a node's memory use grew steadily with normal network activity and was not returned until the node was restarted. Every node was affected, masternodes the most.
It also fixes a crash of the macOS GUI during shutdown, a shutdown crash or stall caused by the ChainLocks thread, governance sync answers being announced to every peer instead of only the one that asked, CoinJoin auto-mixing with more than one wallet loaded, and several other bugs.
Like v24.0.0 and v24.0.1, this release carries the v24 network upgrade (hard fork) and is mandatory for all nodes: every node must run v24.0.0 or later before v24 activates.
- Masternodes and evonodes should upgrade to 24.0.2 as soon as possible. Masternodes still on v24.0.0 should upgrade before block 2,573,818 (around November 17, 2026), when voting opens for the next superblock, so that the superblock trigger voting changes from v24.0.1 take effect.
- All other nodes are strongly recommended to upgrade.
Upgrading from v24.0.0 or v24.0.1 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.
