Evernode Release: v0.9.0

New Features and Enhancements

• Ability to specify a single reputation account, used as a delegate for the reputation assessment process of multiple hosts.
  • If you do not have a Xahau account to provide at the moment, you can create a new one or specify an existing account for the reputation assessment process.
  • Based on user consent during the opt-in phase, users can choose to either have a unique account for each host or maintain a Single delegate for multiple hosts.
  • For those who choose the single delegate for multiple hosts approach, a separate Xahau Hook will be integrated into the provided reputation account to manage the details of multiple hosts attached to that account.
  • It is important to note that this Delegate Account has the authority over the existence of the attached hosts, meaning it can also initiate de-registration on behalf of the host account.
  • Initially, the host must deposit a sufficient XAH balance to set up the reputation account.
  • In order to register for the reputation assessment and execute the reputation contract continuously, the host should ensure that there is a sufficient amount of EVRs funded into the reputation account for each instance acquisition.
• Ability to specify general-purpose ports for the HotPocket instances apart from the User Port and Peer Port.
  • Two general-purpose TCP ports and two general-purpose UDP ports can be configured to an instance. If the user does not specify a value, the default ports will be as follows:
    • General Purpose TCP starting port number: 36525
    • General Purpose UDP starting port number: 39064
  • Altogether, six ports can be configured to a particular HotPocket instance after this release.
  • The instance creation results will display the configured general purpose ports, along with other instance details.
• Enhancements related to the management of lease URI tokens on the Message Board side.

    • If the host contract instance count is less than the min instance count configuration.
      • Min instance count configuration is currently set at 3.
    • If the host lease fee exceeds the max lease amount configuration.
