Over the past few days, Firo and PIVX have both pushed consensus-changing core updates that aren't backward compatible. That means you must update your node as soon as possible, else your node(s) will become out of sync once their respective hardforks take place.
As such, we've made these core updates available to BasicSwap users, and you must update your node as soon as possible if you've enabled either or both of them.
- Firo release: https://github.com/firoorg/firo/releases/tag/v0.14.13.2
- PIVX release: https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/tag/v5.6.1
Note: PIVX's 5.6.1 core update includes minor fixes from the mandatory 5.6.0 version.
