Nearly six months after the debut of Bitcoin Core 27.0, the development team has launched an updated version of the protocol, Bitcoin Core 28.0.

Bitcoin Core 28.0 Update

The Bitcoin development team published notes on the new Bitcoin Core 28.0 version, which brings several updates to enhance program functionality and security, along with upgraded privacy features.

Impact on Security Improvements

The update comes after a vulnerability and software bug posed risks to one out of six Bitcoin nodes. These vulnerabilities allowed attackers to execute DoS attacks. The new version addresses these vulnerabilities, improving node resilience. Reproducible builds are supported, fostering trust and transparency within the BTC community.

Effect on Bitcoin Market Price

Following the Federal Reserve's rate cut announcement, the BTC market saw a rise above $60,000. However, the return to $62,000 occurred without significant further increase. The new Core update may impact market performance in the long run.

Bitcoin Core 28.0 is a significant step towards enhanced security and transparency in the Bitcoin community.
