eigenwallet/core 2.4.5

on GitHub

Some of these CHANGELOG entires have beeb merged from 2.0.3 - 2.4.3 into this release because those releases were missing Github releases.

• ASB: Lowered the Monero lock retry timeout to 10minutes. Aftet that timeout we will start an early refund.

• GUI: Users can donate a small percentage of their swap to the projects donation address. Donations will be used to fund development. This is completely optional and disabled by default. Monero is used exclusively for donations, ensuring full anonymity for users. Donations are only ever send for successful swaps (not refunded ones). We clearly and transparently state where how much Monero is going before the user approves a swap.

• ASB + GUI + CLI: We now cache fee estimates for the Bitcoin wallet for up to 2 minutes. This improves the speed of fee estimation and reduces the number of requests to the Electrum servers.

• ASB + CLI + GUI: Introduce a load-balancing proxy for Monero RPC nodes that automatically discovers healthy nodes and routes requests to improve connection reliability.

• ASB: Added monero_node_pool boolean option to ASB config. When enabled, the ASB uses the internal Monero RPC pool instead of connecting directly to a single daemon URL, providing improved reliability and automatic failover across multiple Monero nodes.

• We now call Monero function directly (via FFI bindings) instead of using monero-wallet-rpc.

• ASB: Since we don't communicate with monero-wallet-rpc anymore, the Monero wallet's will no longer be accessible by connecting to it. If you are using the asb-docker-compose setup, run this command to migrate the wallet files from the volume of the monero-wallet-rpc container to the volume of the asb container:

  # On testnet
  cp /var/lib/docker/volumes/testnet_stagenet_monero-wallet-rpc-data/_data/* /var/lib/docker/volumes/testnet_testnet_asb-data/_data/monero/wallets
  # On mainnet
  cp /var/lib/docker/volumes/mainnet_mainnet_monero-wallet-rpc-data/_data/* /var/lib/docker/volumes/mainnet_mainnet_asb-data/_data/monero/wallets

• ASB: The wallet_url option has been removed and replaced with the optional daemon_url, that specifies which Monero node the asb will connect to. If not specified, the asb will connect to a known public Monero node at random.

• ASB: Add a export-monero-wallet command which gives the Monero wallet's seed and restore height. Export this seed into a wallet software of your own choosing to manage your Monero funds.
  The seed is a 25 word mnemonic. Example:

  $ asb export-monero-wallet > wallet.txt
  $ cat wallet.txt
  Seed          : novelty deodorant aloof serving fuel vipers awful segments siblings bite exquisite quick snout rising hobby trash amply recipe cinema ritual problems pram getting playful novelty
  Restore height: 3403755
  $

• Logs are now written to stderr (instead of stdout). Makers relying on piping the logs need to make sure to include the stderr output:

  Before	After
  asb logs | my-script.sh	asb logs 2>&1 | my-script.sh
  asb logs > output.txt	asb logs > output.txt 2>&1

• GUI: Improved peer discovery: We can now connect to multiple rendezvous points at once. We also cache peers we have previously connected to locally and will attempt to connect to them again in the future, even if they aren't registered with a rendezvous point anymore.

• ASB: We now retry for 6 hours to broadcast the early refund transaction. After that, we give up and Bob will have to wait for the timelock to expire then refund himself. If we detect that Bob has cancelled the swap, we will abort the swap on our side and let Bob refund himself.
