PIVX Core Wallet v5.3.0 has been released! This is a mandatory wallet upgrade with new network features such as the Tor v3 addresses support, numerous core improvements like faster blockchain synchronization, non-English characters support in file directories, bug fixes and much more!. Scroll to the “v5.3.0 key changes” section to know more about all of them.

We invite you to upgrade the wallet before the network upgrade scheduled at block 3,014,000, which is expected to happen on September 10th, 2021 at approx. 15:00 UTC.

To ensure the smooth and flawless network upgrade, SPORK 19 has been activated and Cold Staking has been put into maintenance mode temporarily during the upgrade window (Aug 28th - Sept 10th). The functionality will be reactivated on Sept 10th after the network upgrade enforcement. In case you want to keep staking, feel free to spend your Cold Staking delegations and continue staking regularly, or simply just wait for September 10th, when the functionality will be reactivated and it will automatically continue Cold Staking as before.

Last but not least, make sure to upgrade your wallet to v5.3.0 even in case you’ve already downloaded the v5.3.0rc1, because v5.3.0 includes additional changes that are not backwards compatible with any older wallet versions.
