Monero has released a new beta stressnet software version as it prepares for another major testing phase for FCMP++ (Full-Chain Membership Proofs) and CARROT, its upcoming privacy upgrades. The third beta stressnet is scheduled to go live on Oct. 5. The project is asking community members to keep testing and report problems to support a smooth transition. FCMP++ would expand Monero’s anonymity set from relatively small rings of decoy outputs to the full set of eligible outputs on the blockchain, while still allowing the network to detect double spending. The upgrade is also expected to support safer transaction chaining and optional outgoing view keys.
