Blockdaemon will update Bitcoin Core Testnet and Mainnet nodes to v28.0 on 12/16/24. We are updating our nodes due to a release from the Bitcoin Core foundation. This update applies to all Blockdaemon Bitcoin Core Testnet and Mainnet nodes, there will be planned downtime of up to 10 minutes per node.

Please be aware of the following notable changes, for a full change log please review the release notes https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-28.0/.

- The dumptxoutset RPC now returns the UTXO set dump in a new and improved format. Correspondingly, the loadtxoutset RPC now expects this new format in the dumps it tries to load. Dumps with the old format are no longer supported and need to be recreated using the new format to be usable. (#29612)

- The warnings field in getblockchaininfo, getmininginfo and getnetworkinfo now returns all the active node warnings as an array of strings, instead of a single warning. (#29845)

- Previously when using the sendrawtransaction RPC and specifying outputs that are already in the UTXO set, an RPC error code of -27 with the message “Transaction already in block chain” was returned in response. The error message has been changed to “Transaction outputs already in utxo set” to more accurately describe the source of the issue. (#30212)

- The default mode for the estimatesmartfee RPC has been updated from conservative to economical. (#30275)

We have tested the release and do not anticipate any unexpected downtime other than mentioned above as a result of the update. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to your Customer Support Manager.
