Announcement: Latest Release Dec 23, 2025

This is a client only release. So there is no launchpad update or node upgrade. It’s only an upgrade to the ant binary and any consumers of the client API. The full details are in the changelog. The main highlight is the introduction of Merkle payments. You must use --merkle on the file upload command to use it. Merkle essentially makes uploading data cheaper which is a big win for the network! Support for Merkle is only in CLI, but will be implemented in Dave thoon! :rocket:
