The day has finally come. We're here, once again, to empower our users with tools to help their privacy. What's new in this release? Let's get into it.

RoninDojo v2.3.0

Our main scripts code repository has been updated with fixes that should help users install, run, and update their RoninDojo with less edge case issues. While previous release was focused on helping our users migrate to new hard drives, this one should help more with stability.

Samourai Dojo v1.27.0 and Soroban

This release also brings the latest version of Samourai Dojo. Here's a few things that have been updated:

  • electrs v0.10.9
  • BTC-RPC Explorer v3.4.1
  • Fulcrum v1.12.0
  • Tor v0.4.8.16
  • Bitcoin Core v29.0
  • updated Knots ban script
  • new Dojo API endpoints, updated dependencies

This update will help you to be prepared for new features that might arrive in Sentinel or Ashigaru.

But the biggest new thing in this update is the introduction of Soroban, a distributed peer-to-peer network that your Dojo can leverage for a number of use-cases. First use-case available in Dojo is PandoTX.

When you send a transaction through Dojo, it will not be immediately pushed to the Bitcoin Network but it will be sent to a random node on the Soroban network which will push it to the Bitcoin Network. This also means that your Soroban node will receive other people's transactions and will push these to the Bitcoin Network. This further obfuscates the origin of a transaction because the maker of a transaction does not have to be connected with a Bitcoin node that relays the transaction to the network.

We hope that this is just the first of many applications built on top of Soroban.

RoninUI v2.6.0

Since the unfortunate demise of KYCP (and OXT on which stood), there hasn't been a proper way to review transactional privacy and linkability of inputs-outputs. This now changes with the release of Boltzmann tool.

Boltzmann (developed by LaurentMT and Samourai) has been integrated into RoninUI which means any user can now locally analyze a transaction and see entropy, number of combinations and linkability matrix. While this tool is right now very far from capabilities that KYCP and OXT had, we hope to add more useful heuristics in the future.

Since this release is about empowering users, the next feature is especially about that. Users are now able to change certain settings - adjust mempool expiry, turn on/off PandoTX and other things. We are still determining which of the settings can be adjustable by the user in a safe manner so this screen might expand in the future - your ideas are welcome.

RoninOS v2.3.0

We have taken care to rethink and restructure the build process of RoninOS. This means that we are now able to build images more easily and for wider variety of devices - this update is now available for RockPro64, Rock5b and Raspberry Pi 4b.

Conclusion

We want to thank our users for bearing with us. We know you have been waiting for certain updates and fixes and we hope that this version will serve you well. We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the community that is still interested in privacy.
