We need your help to make a faster and more secure Monero node a reality.

Hi,

This is a post on Cuprate, the Rust Monero node. Since the well received Kesterite released two weeks ago development is going well, and a second preview version is in preparation. You can expect QoL and stability fixes, RPC hardening for making public nodes more robust, and pruning support.

As many of you already know, since alpha, Cuprate can sync a blockchain dramatically faster than monerod, and Kesterite preview put out RPC wallet support which is also much more efficient than monerod.

However, Cuprate still needs some more things to be completed before we can release a `1.0`. These include making our interfaces more secure against attacks (I have been working on this in the past week) and supply chain security, among other things. We value these issues as a hard need for the security of every monero users out there.

If you want a faster, more stable and more secure Monero node, please consider donating a few coins over at my CCS:

I would greatly appreciate it 💙

Stay tuned for next update.

Cuprate Kesterite vs Monerod - Same hardware, single wallet syncing from genesis is 2x faster on Cuprate.

This comparison has been made between monero's master branch and Cuprate v0.1.0-preview Kesterite released binary for Linux GNU x86_64.

While Cuprate do not yet support pruning (in progress), it uses less storage to store the entire blockchain (213GB as of writing, against 265GB for monerod).

If you do have the storage, you can give it a try by downloading the latest binaries on our redesigned website:

Note: Linux musl, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux riscv64 support is ongoing: https://x.com/SyntheticBird_/status/2084774663045943469/photo/1
