The earlier update described what we could expect from Bitcoin Core v32.0. Now we’ve reached the release candidate stage (v32.0rc1), which means these improvements are no longer just plans — they are ready for testing before the final release.
There's is the continued focus on making Bitcoin stronger at the base layer: faster initial sync, more peer connections, lower resource usage, faster signature verification, Silent Payments, PSBTv2, better watch-only wallet support, and stronger Tor protection.
For me, this is what Bitcoin development should look like: **quiet, incremental improvements.
The final v32.0 release is targeted for October 2026.
I’ll definitely be watching the testing closely. The more people test, verify and report issues, the stronger Bitcoin becomes.
