⚙️ Monero GUI 0.18.4.x “Fluorine Fermi” Updates
During this period, the Monero team released updated versions of the GUI wallet, including v0.18.4.6 and v0.18.4.7 under the “Fluorine Fermi” series.
These releases are not feature-heavy but focus on bug fixes and network reliability, which is critical for maintaining a stable and secure ecosystem.
Key improvements include fixes in:
peer list filtering (daemon side)
P2P connection handling
multisig key exchange issues
various minor bugs and performance tweaks
While these updates may seem incremental, they play an essential role in keeping the network robust, especially ahead of more significant future upgrades.
🧿 MoneroRun 2026 Announcement
A notable community-driven event was announced this week — MoneroRun 2026, scheduled for April 18th.
The idea is simple but powerful:
users are encouraged to withdraw their XMR from exchanges and hold it in their own wallets for a full day.
This initiative acts as a public, decentralized audit of XMR reserves, highlighting a long standing issue in crypto, lack of transparency from centralized exchanges.
The message is clear:
If users actually hold their coins, exchanges must prove they exist.
The announcement also reflects growing skepticism toward centralized platforms, many of which:
restrict withdrawals
operate without full reserve transparency
or have historically failed similar “stress tests”
MoneroRun reinforces one of the core principles of crypto:
“Not your keys — not your coins.”
Takeaway
This week combines two important layers of the Monero ecosystem:
Core development - ongoing improvements ensuring reliability and security
Community action - initiatives pushing for transparency and self-custody
Signature
KYC - Keep Your Coins
