Chronicle BSV Blockchain Latest Update
BSV Blockchain is pleased to announce its new Chronicle update which will officially launch later in 2024. The update will further align the BSV blockchain with the original Bitcoin white paper and allow it to dynamically scale at an exponential rate so it’s ready to meet the growing demand for trusted data.
The Chronicle update is a direct follow-up of the Genesis upgrade in 2020 which restored many aspects of the Bitcoin protocol that had been modified in previous software updates including the removal of most limit-based consensus rules, replacing them with miner configurable settings that give node operators the autonomy needed to set their limits as they determine are practical.
Connor Murray, Director of Stewardship said: “A main driving milestone of the BSV blockchain is to restore the protocol as close to the original protocol as possible, so with the Genesis update in 2020, we restored most of the original scripting functionalities of the script that were in the original Bitcoin protocol.
But there are still a few opcodes remaining that haven’t been restored yet. And, some limitations on ways you can add data into a transaction that needs to be removed. With the upcoming Chronicle update, due out later this year, we will restore some of the remaining opcodes that need restoration.”
These opcodes include:
- OP_VER
- OP_VERIF
- OP_VERNOTIF
- OP_SUBSTR
- OP_LEFT
- OP_RIGHT
- OP_2MUL
- OP_2DIV
This will enable several new use cases as well as the removal of unnecessary restrictions and limits placed on the node, including:
- Lifting restrictions on the length of numbers used in scripts
- No longer insisting that the script stack must be left “clean” after execution
- Low S requirement for signatures
- Allowing opcodes in the unlocking script
- No longer insisting on minimal encoding
However, the update will also add benefits for developers in several ways ahead of the upcoming Mandala upgrade.
Connor went on to say: “One of the opcodes is a versioning opcode which will allow developers to build overlay-type networks and transactions. it provides a way to version transactions, and build overlay networks, on top of the blockchain which we think is a really interesting use case.”
The Chronicle update will also provide the network topology that will scale as much as possible going forward, said Murray. He noted that an important function of the ongoing Teranode project is to take out some of the external services that the node currently handles and make the node software just do the core mining functions inherent to building blocks.
The Chronicle update is set to launch in Q3 2024 with further details available closer to the time. This will include more information on developer benefits and when miners should upgrade to the new version.

Today, October 21, 2024, at the Victoria Palace, the official launch of the “Agerpres Daily News | Hold History”, initiated by ICI Bucharest and the National Press Agency AGERPRES, with the support of the Ministry of Research, Innovation and Digitization. The event marked an important step in combating disinformation and promoting authentic journalism by integrating blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
The project “Agerpres Daily News | Hold History’ aims to transform authentic and verified news into unique NFTs, giving consumers the opportunity to own a piece of the most relevant moments in daily news. These NFTs, available on the ICI D|Servicesplatform, each represent a ‘time capsule’, immortalizing significant moments in national and global current affairs. NFTs are released daily in limited editions and are accompanied by photos, article snippets or digital art.
The project includes a loyalty program for NFT collectors, who can access special rewards such as digital art pieces, exclusive content, or invitations to events organized by AGERPRES. An innovative feature, “NFT-to-Vote”, is also being explored, whereby NFT holders will be able to influence future news topics. This initiative marks a new way of interacting with news, where audiences can not only consume but own and actively participate in everyday history.
Bogdan Ivan, the Minister of Research, Innovation and Digitalization, emphasized in his speech the importance of this project: “In a world dominated by digital challenges, the use of blockchain to guarantee the authenticity and truthfulness of information is essential. The launch of Adrian-Victor Vevera, the general director of ICI Bucharest, highlighted the added value of the project: “I believe that the young people present in this room are the future consumers of this program, a project that appeared as a continuation of the first collections of NFTs launched with Agerpres. We started with a necessity – validated news and ended up using blockchain technology to certify and validate the news. Other blockchain technology projects will be launched in November this year, so I invite you to stay tuned.”
Claudia-Victoria Nicolae, the general director of AGERPRES, drew attention to the importance of integrating the needs of the new generation: “It is time to adapt and innovate in order to reach young people with the quality information they need. “Agerpres Daily News | Hold History” is not only a step forward for journalism but a necessity in the digital age.”
The event was attended by students at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences of the University of Bucharest and students at the Romanian-American University, who appreciated the educational and informative potential of this initiative. The project is an essential tool in the fight against disinformation, giving citizens the opportunity to easily collect and verify authentic information.
