Announcement: Release
A new network release is now ready everyone! Please follow the instructions below once the new versions are available to ensure your nodes stay compatible and continue earning rewards. Full changelog are posted with the release. Also please note you must be on 2025.11.1.1 or newer to earn rewards.
IMPORTANT – MacOS/Linux Users Must Reset Their Nodes After Upgrading
If you already have nodes deployed with antctl or the old node-launchpad, you will need to reset your nodes after upgrading to the new release. This ensures compatibility with the new automatic upgrade system. Resetting ensures everything runs smoothly with the upgraded version. Resetting will remove existing node data, this is expected and safe. Your data is replicated across the network. Also please note that automatic upgrades only apply to MacOS (experimental support) and Linux. Windows users must go through the usual process to upgrade. You may notice that after resetting your nodes, the Launchpad interface may show old or already deleted nodes in the list. This is just a visual display issue and does not affect your actual nodes or the network. In the meantime, your new nodes and upgrades will continue functioning normally. A patched Launchpad version will be released in coming days to resolve this.
For MacOS/Linux Launchpad Users
- Download the newest Node Launchpad v0.6.0
- Open Launchpad.
- Press O to open the Options screen.
- First, stop your nodes: press Ctrl + S
- Wait a couple of minutes to let them shut down cleanly
- Then reset your nodes: press Ctrl + R
- Press Ctrl + G and use the arrow key to select how many nodes you want to add.
- Press Ctrl + S to start your nodes again
For Windows Launchpad Users
- Open Node Launchpad v0.6.0 if you are not already on that version
- Press O to access the Options screen.
- Then, press Ctrl + U, and hit Enter. This will upgrade your nodes. Upgrading can take several minutes for each node. Please don’t close the app or stop your nodes during this process.

- Press Ctrl + S to start your nodes again

antctl start --interval 30000
For Windows CLI (antctl) Users
- If you’re using the CLI tool, please update and upgrade. Run the update first:
