| ## Version 1.6.0 (Mumbai) Release | ||
|
|
||
| This month, the [Pactus 1.6.0 (Mumbai)](https://pactus.org/2024/11/14/pactus-1.6.0-mumbai-released/) was released. | ||
| This update introduces a new consumption fee model based on the number of bytes each address sends to the network daily. | ||
| The model, proposed by [PIP-31](https://pips.pactus.org/PIPs/pip-31), | ||
| enables the Pactus blockchain to support transactions with zero fees, also known as gas-less transactions. | ||
| You can check out this tutorial to learn more about zero-fee transactions on Pactus: | ||
| [How to Send Zero-Fee Transactions?](https://docs.pactus.org/tutorials/zero-fee-transactios/) | ||
|
|
||
| ## New GUI Under Development | ||
|
|
||
| A new graphical interface for Pactus is now under development. | ||
| The team is building the GUI using the popular [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/) framework, | ||
| which supports cross-platform compilation, including mobile devices. | ||
| The ultimate goal of the new Pactus GUI is to enable validators to control their nodes directly from their phones. | ||
| Stay tuned for more exciting updates from the GUI development team! | ||
|
|
||
| ## Notifications on the Way | ||
|
|
||
| Pactus currently lacks a standardized notification system. | ||
| There are many use cases where users might want notifications. | ||
| For instance, when a block is created or a transaction is confirmed. | ||
| The development team is drafting a new PIP for a notification service. | ||
| A potential candidate for implementing this system is | ||
| [ZeroMQ](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/zmq.md), a library also used in Bitcoin Core. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Scoring Peers on the P2P Network | ||
|
|
||
| An effective approach to preventing abnormal behavior from certain peers on | ||
| the P2P network is to assign scores based on their past actions. | ||
| The development team is currently drafting a new PIP to introduce peer scoring on the network. | ||
| This system will enable peers to identify and disconnect from malicious actors, enhancing network stability and security. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Pactus Under Attack | ||
|
|
||
| In late November, the Pactus network came under a sophisticated spamming attack. | ||
| The attack involved spam transactions and network flooding with expired messages, | ||
| also known as a replay attack. | ||
| While the spam transactions had no impact on the consensus algorithm, | ||
| allowing validators to continue creating blocks as usual, the replay attack caused delays in the consensus process. | ||
| Upon detecting the issue, the development team quickly worked on a patch to help validators overcome the attack. | ||
| The good news is that the network is now stable, and Pactus is immune to replay attacks. |
