Particl has a hardfork scheduled, which will reduce its coin emission (inflation) rate to 3.5% of the money supply, as well as eliminate the automatic 50% staking reward donations to the network treasury.

New Mandatory Particl Core Release
New mandatory Particl Core releases are available ahead of the February 1st hardfork.

To make sure the hardfork goes smoothly and that you don't end up on the deprecated chain, you must update your Particl nodes to hardfork-compatible versions. Compatible core versions include:

How to Update

Depending on what wallet or application that you use, the update process will vary. Let's take a look at each of those scenarios.

Particl-Qt or CLI

  1. Download a hardfork-compatible core binary.
  2. Use this new binary for staking/transactions/wallet management.

Particl Desktop

  1. If Particl Desktop is currently open, close it down entirely. Make sure to close any particld service running on your computer as well.
  2. Re-open Particl Desktop, the new hardfork-compatible version will download an install automatically.

Partyman Staking App

  1. Ensure you're using the correct repository: git remote set-url origin https://github.com/cryptoguard/partyman,
  2. Update your Partyman instance: git pull,
  3. Run the command ./partyman update. It will fetch and download the most recent Particl Core, then install it.
  4. If you run into checksum errors, you can manually download Particl Core 23.2.9.0 and put the binaries in your particlcore folder. Make sure you download the binary type made for your device. For Raspberry Pis, it is particl-23.2.9.0-aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.gz.

  1. If you're running BasicSwap DEX, you'll need to update your Particl node as well. To do so, update BasicSwap DEX to the most recent version.
  2. Then, update your Particl node by following the BSX Coin Update guide.
If you've installed BasicSwap via Ofrnxmr/Nahuhh's bash script (basicswap-bash), the bsx-update command will handle the update for you.
