Ixian DLT v0.9.8

on GitHub

Built on Ixian Core v0.9.8, this release integrates Ixian's new End-to-End (E2E) transaction model into the DLT layer, alongside improvements to block propagation, transaction handling, mining behavior, and node performance.

The result: a network that is more reliable in transaction delivery, more consistent in validation, and better aligned with real-world usage at scale.

🔥 Highlights

🚀 End-to-End Transaction Delivery (DLT Integration)

Ixian DLT now fully supports the E2E transaction model introduced in Core:

• Transactions are delivered directly to recipients via P2P
• Simultaneously propagated through the blockchain for consensus

This removes the need for:

• Polling for transactions
• Filtering large datasets
• Recovering missed transactions

Additional improvements:

• Support for Extended Address types (enabling pre-negotiation & flexible delivery)
• Improved transaction propagation and consistency
• Better alignment with Core's transaction lifecycle model

👉 Transactions are received deterministically, not discovered opportunistically.

⛏️ Mining & Consensus

• Introduced Argon2 mining expiration handling (aligned with Core)
• Fixed signer difficulty cache edge cases
• Improved compact block sending

🌐 Networking & Node Behavior

• Added support for relay nodes as seed nodes

• Removed unnecessary subscriptions from hot paths:

  • balance
  • transactionFrom
  • transactionTo

• Improved message handling and node communication

👉 Less noise, fewer wasted cycles, cleaner network behavior.

📦 Storage & Performance

• Added CLI parameters:

  • blocksDbCache
  • activityDbCache

• Improved database/cache configurability

🔧 Transaction Processing

• Improved transaction sending logic
• Refined PendingTransactions handling
• Improved consistency with Core transaction model

🛠️ Tooling & Build

• Migrated to .NET 10
• Disabled ImplicitUsings
• Updated NuGet dependencies
• Updated Argon2 toolset
• Improved rebuild scripts
• Added upgrade to RocksDB warning

🧹 General Improvements

• Performance and stability improvements across core systems
• Fixes across networking, transaction flow, and block handling
• Codebase cleanup and refactoring

📝 Notes

• ⚙️ Built with Ixian Core v0.9.8

• ⏳ Node expiration: Block #6,200,000

• ⏰ Ensure your system time is correct - seconds matter for network consensus & sync.

• ⏳ Argon2id mining deprecation: Block #6,307,200

• 🆕 Fresh Ixian DLT installations will default to the RocksDB storage engine.

• 🔍 Existing nodes will auto-detect the storage engine (RocksDB or SQLite) based on available data.

• 🛠 To manually select the storage engine, use:

  ./IxianDLT --blockStorage RocksDB
  ./IxianDLT --blockStorage SQLite

🖥️ Requirements

• Linux or Windows 10/11 (x64)
• .NET 10 SDK & Runtime
• Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable (x64) - for Windows
• Minimum 16 GB RAM
• Intel i7/i9/Xeon or AMD equivalent with at least 2 GHz and 8 threads
• 1.5 TB+ of free disk space (2 TB+ recommended)
• 50 Mbps / 50 Mbps internet connection or better
• Ability to forward TCP ports (via UPnP or manual setup)

🔭 Upcoming Features

• Dynamic transaction fees
• Dynamic dust limit support
• Master / Full history node split
