Release Notes

Release NotesWelcome to the Release Notes page for Real, a decentralized Layer 1 (L1) blockchain built to streamline the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This page provides an overview of recent updates, new features, bug fixes, and improvements to the Real ecosystem, including the REAL Mainnet, Testnet, Localnet, and associated tools. Stay informed about the latest developments as we continue to enhance the Real network for users, developers, and businesses.

Version 1.2.0 – May 10, 2025

New Features

  • RWA Tokenization Wizard v2:

    • Enhanced the tokenization platform at app.real.finance with a revamped wizard for SMEs.

    • Added support for tokenizing new asset types, including intellectual property and future receivables.

    • Improved compliance checks with automated KYC/AML verification for faster onboarding.

  • CosmWasm Upgrade:

    • Upgraded the REAL Mainnet to support CosmWasm 1.5.0, enabling new smart contract features like batch transactions and gas optimization.

    • Developers can now leverage these features for more efficient RWA tokenization and dApp development. See our Tutorials for updated guides.

  • Staking Dashboard Enhancements:

    • Added a reward prediction calculator to the Staking Dashboard, helping users estimate returns based on their staked $REAL tokens.

    • Improved validator sorting with new filters for uptime, commission rates, and community reputation.

Improvements

  • Transaction Fee Optimization:

    • Reduced average transaction fees on the REAL Mainnet by 15% through improved gas estimation algorithms.

    • $REAL token holders can now perform more transactions (e.g., tokenizing assets, trading) at a lower cost.

  • Explorer Performance:

    • Optimized the REAL Mainnet Explorer and Testnet Explorer for faster loading times and better search functionality.

    • Added new visualizations for staking metrics and RWA tokenization activity.

  • Node Syncing:

    • Improved node synchronization speed for validators and full node operators by 20%, reducing setup time for new nodes.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where some smart contracts failed to execute due to incorrect gas limits. Affected contracts can now be re-deployed without errors.

  • Resolved a display bug in the Staking Dashboard where reward balances were not updating in real-time for some users.

  • Corrected an edge case in the Testnet Faucet faucet.real.finance that caused delays in token distribution for high-traffic periods.

Known Issues

  • Some users may experience intermittent delays when querying historical RWA tokenization data on the Mainnet Explorer. A fix is scheduled for the next release.

  • The Localnet setup may require additional configuration for macOS users running older versions of Go. See our Localnet Guide for a workaround.

Version 1.1.0 – March 15, 2025

New Features

  • Governance Voting Portal:

    • Launched a new governance voting portal at app.real.finance/governance.

    • $REAL token holders can now propose and vote on network upgrades, inflation adjustments, and protocol changes directly from the portal.

    • Increased the daily test $REAL token limit on the Real Testnet Faucet from 1,000 to 5,000 tokens per address to support more extensive testing.

    • Added a CAPTCHA to prevent abuse and ensure fair distribution.

Improvements

  • Validator Onboarding:

    • Simplified the validator setup process with updated documentation in the Consensus Guide.

    • Reduced the minimum $REAL stake for validators from 15,000 to 10,000 tokens to encourage broader participation.

  • API Enhancements:

    • Expanded the Real API docs.real.finance/api with new endpoints for querying tokenized RWA metadata and staking rewards.

    • Improved API response times by 30% for high-traffic queries.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug in the Real CLI (reald) where staking delegation transactions occasionally failed due to incorrect signature validation.

  • Resolved an issue in the REAL Testnet Explorer where some smart contract events were not properly indexed.

  • Corrected a typo in the tokenization wizard that caused confusion for SMEs uploading asset documentation.
