Version 14.8.7 Deploys with Validator and Miner Improvements

Version 14.8.7 rolled out with stake-weighted IP allowlisting for miners, a 10x reduction in validator-side memory usage via pre-sampled RSV dispatch, and improved slice auto-recovery. Team addressed VTrust stability issues caused by self-healing logic in some validators; the metric is expected to recover within hours. A high-performing miner now represents significant network throughput (288 proofs/second) with growing stake concentration, which the team suggests mitigating through staker diversification.

• •Trust-on-first-use IP allowlist gated by stake-weighted coverage deployed
• •Pre-sampled RSV dispatch cuts validator memory usage by 10x
• •Slice auto-recovery substantially improved in patch release
• •VTrust instability traced to validator self-healing logic; recovery underway
