Changelog

Governance-controlled VM libraries

• On-chain governance contract with hard/soft proposal tiers, amendments, hard floors, and automatic timelock execution.
• Governance-approved VM library injection: library source lives on-chain and is hardened into every contract's Compartment.
• First approved library: math (PI, E, sqrt, pow, trig).
• Block explorer rebranded to editorial palette, with full block/tx/address/contract detail pages, search, and validator list.
• @asentum/sdk v0.1 published — AsentumClient, AsentumWallet, AsentumContract.
• 278/278 tests green.

Multi-validator BFT on real networks

• Five validators across three continents (Germany, US East, US West, local Mac) producing 2-second blocks.
• Graceful quorum transition: new validators enter a 10-block pending window before being counted for consensus.
• Cached-proposal fix for retry-safe block building (no more self-tombstoning on quorum timeouts).
• Sync loop runs alongside producer mode — restarted validators catch up without manual intervention.

Chrome extension wallet

• Native Manifest V3 Chrome extension with Dilithium3 signing.
• Password-encrypted vault: scrypt N=131072 + AES-GCM-256.
• Per-origin permissions for window.asentum provider.
• Per-transaction approval popups with typed context (transfer, deploy, call).
• Multiple accounts with add / rename / switch / delete.
• Connected sites view with revoke.

The everybody chain

• Single-binary CLI (Node SEA) shipping macOS arm64 + x64 and Windows x64.
• One-liner installers for macOS/Linux (curl | sh) and Windows (iwr | iex).
• Contract playground at testnet.asentum.com/playground with token, guestbook, tip-jar templates.
• Post-deploy method introspection and auto-generated forms for view/send methods.

Testnet goes public

• testnet.asentum.com live behind Caddy with automatic Let's Encrypt TLS.
• JSON-RPC endpoint accepts external traffic. Faucet online.
• Explorer UI served at the same host with content-negotiated routes.

Internal devnet and pre-public work

• Dilithium3 signatures across consensus and transactions.
• Staking and slashing system contracts.
• Ethereum-ecosystem JSON-RPC compatibility (eth_getBalance, eth_getLogs, etc.).
