Route Multiplexing in Skywire

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Route Multiplexing

Skywire v1.3.37 introduces route multiplexing — the ability to spread a single connection’s traffic across multiple transports simultaneously. When a visor has more than one transport to the same peer (e.g., one STCPR and one SUDPH transport), the mux layer can distribute packets across all of them, improving throughput and resilience.

This is the first phase of a multi-transport routing capability that has been a long-term goal for Skywire.

Skycoin v0.28.4 Released

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Skycoin v0.28.4

Skycoin v0.28.4 has been released and is available from GitHub.

This release focuses on Fibercoin support, dynamic branding, and toolchain improvements:

Dynamic ASCII art branding — all help menus (skycoin, skycoin daemon, skycoin cli, skycoin web, skycoin explorer) now display the configured coin’s name in ASCII art when FIBER_TOML is set. CLI defaults (RPC_ADDR, COIN, DATA_DIR) also adapt automatically.
Fibercoin compatibility — empty string overrides in fiber.toml now work correctly (e.g., peer_list_url = "" disables peer list download instead of falling through to Skycoin defaults). Added --legacy-peer-compat flag for connecting to older Fibercoin nodes that don’t send blockchain pubkey during handshake.
newcoin templates subcommand — print the embedded code generation templates to stdout, so users can customize them without cloning the source. The --template-dir flag now works to override embedded templates.
cli halt command — gracefully shut down a running daemon via the CLI.
--gui-dir flag for skycoin web — override the embedded web wallet frontend with a custom GUI directory.
Fibercoin support verified — tested and documented with AIX and Privateness (NESS).
Security fixes — npm audit fixes across all frontend directories, bumped flatted to 3.4.2, removed deprecated protractor from explorer (eliminating 10 vulnerabilities).
Build improvements — updated to Go 1.26, golangci-lint v2.11.3, replaced goreleaser with go install in release workflow, updated GitHub Actions to Node.js 24.

Builds are available for Linux (amd64, arm64, armhf, arm, 386, riscv64), macOS (amd64, arm64), and Windows.

Skywire v1.3.37 Released

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Skywire v1.3.37

Skywire v1.3.37 has been released and is available from GitHub.

This release includes significant transport layer stability improvements, CXO integration, and updates the embedded Skycoin to v0.28.4:

Route multiplexing — connections can now spread traffic across multiple transports simultaneously, with latency-weighted transport selection, packet reordering, and SACK-based retransmission. This is the first phase of multi-transport routing in Skywire.
Transport layer stability — fixed accept loop crash on stale routes with missing transports, added 10-second timeout for ping route handshakes to limit goroutine lifetime, and handle ping/latency routes directly in IntroduceRules to bypass the accept queue.
SUDPH improvements — fixed SUDPH in end-to-end tests by adding --udp-addr to Address Resolver so UDP and HTTP share the same port, added STUN servers to visor configs for proper SUDPH detection, added diagnostics for SUDPH transport failures.
Transport Discovery — batch TPD deletions, STCP transport support, transport statistics, STCPR retry improvements, deferred transport registration to batch re-registration loop, fixed AR bind retry and TPD rate limiting.
CXO integration — the Content-Addressable Object System (CXO) has been integrated into the Skywire binary, providing a distributed, content-addressable data storage layer over the Skywire network.
Accept loop fix — fixed connection accept loop spin on shutdown by treating closed connections as shutdown signals.
RPC timeout — fixed hung RPC connections with proper timeout handling.
Embedded Skycoin v0.28.4 — includes all Skycoin v0.28.4 improvements: dynamic Fibercoin branding, newcoin templates subcommand, cli halt, and Fibercoin compatibility fixes.
Reward system UI — updated reward system interface.

The full changelog is available on GitHub.

Skywire Rewards: Transitioning to Bandwidth-Based Rewards

Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Transitioning to Bandwidth-Based Rewards

The Skywire reward system is being updated to incentivize actual network usage. Alongside this change, the Transport Discovery (TPD) now aggregates per-transport and per-visor bandwidth and latency metrics — the data infrastructure that makes bandwidth-based rewards possible.

Reward Pool Changes

Current System

Today there are two reward pools split by visor architecture. Both use the same eligibility requirements based on uptime and transport count.

New System

The two architecture-based pools are being replaced with two purpose-based pools:

Bitcoin Support Added to the Skycoin Web Wallet

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Bitcoin Support in the Skycoin Web Wallet

The skycoin web wallet now supports Bitcoin, allowing you to send and receive BTC from the same interface used for Skycoin and Fibercoin wallets.

What It Does

Full Bitcoin wallet functionality has been added to the Skycoin web thin client:

Send and receive BTC — create, sign, and broadcast Bitcoin transactions directly from the wallet UI
Native segwit support — wallets default to bech32 (bc1q) addresses via BIP84 derivation, with legacy P2PKH also supported
BIP44 account structure — hierarchical deterministic wallets with account-based organization and xpub display
Two backend options — connect to an Electrum server (TCP/TLS) or a Bitcoin Core node (HTTP RPC)
UTXO management — automatic UTXO selection with largest-first algorithm and fee estimation

Usage

Connect to an Electrum server:

Thu, 12 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Multi-Fibercoin Support in the Skycoin Web Wallet

The skycoin web thin client wallet now supports connecting to multiple Fiber blockchain nodes simultaneously, allowing you to manage wallets for Skycoin and any number of Fiber coins from a single interface.

What Are Fibercoins?

A Fibercoin is a coin and blockchain built on the Skycoin platform — using the same consensus mechanism, wallet tooling, and node software. Each Fibercoin has its own genesis block, peer list, coin name, ticker symbol, and coin hours denomination, defined in a fiber.toml configuration file. Anyone can create a new Fibercoin using the skycoin newcoin tool.

Skynet: TCP Port Forwarding Over Skywire

Fri, 06 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Skynet — Port Forwarding Over Skywire

Skywire now includes Skynet, a TCP port forwarding utility that lets any visor expose local services to the Skywire network. Unlike DmsgWeb which routes through DMSG relay servers, Skynet forwards traffic over Skywire’s direct transport layer (STCPR, SUDPH, or DMSG transports), providing lower latency and higher throughput for peer-to-peer connections.

How It Works

Server side — expose local ports to the Skywire network:

skywire cli skynet srv start --ports 8080,3000

Client side — connect to a remote visor’s exposed port and map it locally:

Skycoin Web Thin Client: Local Wallet Directory Support

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Local Wallet Management in the Skycoin Web Thin Client

The skycoin web thin client wallet now supports managing wallets in a local directory, without requiring the remote node to have its wallet API enabled.

Background

The Skycoin web wallet (skycoin web) is a thin client — a lightweight frontend that connects to a remote Skycoin node for blockchain data. Previously, wallet operations (creating wallets, signing transactions) were handled entirely by the remote node’s API. This required trusting the remote node with wallet access, which is not ideal for security.

Skywallet Hardware Wallet Utilities Updated and Integrated

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Skywallet Utilities — Fully Integrated into Skycoin

The Skywallet hardware wallet utilities have been fully integrated into the Skycoin repository. Previously maintained as separate external projects (hardware-wallet-go and hardware-wallet-daemon), all source code now lives within the Skycoin monorepo and ships as part of the unified binary.

What Changed

Source integration — The hardware-wallet-go library and hardware-wallet-daemon HTTP server have been moved into src/hardware-wallet/ and src/hardware-wallet-daemon/ respectively, eliminating external dependency management.
Unified binary — The release binary now includes skyhw as a subcommand alongside daemon, cli, web, explorer, and newcoin.
Static compilation — Release builds use static musl compilation with bundled libusb, so there are no runtime library dependencies.
Cross-platform support — Builds for Linux (amd64, arm64, riscv64), macOS (amd64, arm64), and Windows (amd64).

Usage

Run the hardware wallet daemon:

Simplified Fibercoin Creation and Chain Initialization

Fri, 05 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Fibercoin Creation — From Minutes to Seconds

Creating and launching a new Fibercoin blockchain has been dramatically simplified. A single compiled Skycoin binary can now run any Fibercoin — no recompilation needed. Just set the FIBER_TOML environment variable to point at your coin’s configuration file.

FIBER_TOML Environment Variable

Previously, launching a Fibercoin node required either recompiling the binary with a custom config baked in, or passing multiple CLI flags. Now, the daemon reads a FIBER_TOML environment variable at startup:

Skywire v1.3.31 Released

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Skywire v1.3.31

Skywire v1.3.31 has been released and is available from GitHub.

This release focuses on public visor connectivity and autoconnect reliability:

Public visor connectivity fix — public visors now detect their status by checking the address resolver’s STCPR keys rather than relying on config and network conditions that may not be ready at startup
Autoconnect improvements — public-to-public connections properly bypass transport limit checks once the visor is registered
STCPR heartbeat removed — eliminated unnecessary heartbeat traffic
Updated hardcoded DMSG server IPs

The minimum version requirement for Skywire mainnet rewards has been updated to v1.3.31.

DmsgWeb: Anonymous Websites Over DMSG

Fri, 09 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

DmsgWeb — Anonymous Port Forwarding Over DMSG

Skywire v1.3.17 introduces DmsgWeb, a new utility for hosting and accessing websites over the DMSG overlay network. DmsgWeb provides a resolving SOCKS5 proxy — similar to and inspired by I2P — that lets a web browser access sites hosted entirely within the DMSG network.

How It Works

DmsgWeb operates in two modes:

Client (skywire dmsg web) — Runs a local SOCKS5 proxy that resolves .dmsg domains to DMSG public keys and routes traffic over the encrypted DMSG overlay. Configure your browser to use the proxy, and DMSG-hosted sites become accessible just like any other website. Non-DMSG traffic can optionally be routed through a Skywire SOCKS5 proxy for additional privacy.

Skycoin Hours

Sun, 09 Aug 2020 13:00:00 +0000

What Are Coin Hours?

Simply put, Coin Hours are the “fuel” for Skycoin.

Holding Skycoin in a Skycoin wallet automatically generates Coin Hours at a rate of 1 Coin Hour per Skycoin per hour. They are earned passively and for free on the blockchain itself by parking your Skycoin in a Skycoin wallet. The most prominent feature of Coin Hours is that they keep the Skywire network free of transaction fees. This means no fee-jacking by miners for profit, as commonly seen with Bitcoin. Users will never have to pay in Skycoin or fiat currency to access and use the network. Coin Hours will take care of that for you.

SCH listing on XBTS

Fri, 24 Jul 2020 13:00:00 +0000

Shanghai, China —Skycoin automatically generates a parallel currency called Coin Hours (SCH) at the rate of one Coin Hour generated per hour, per Skycoin. While Skycoin has been tradable on major exchanges for many years, XBTS represents the first time Coin Hours have been made available to trade on an exchange as a separate and distinct crypto asset.

Skycoin is a deflationary currency, with a total supply ultimately capped at 100 million coins. Coin Hours, on the other hand, were designed to be an inflationary currency with inbuilt deflationary control mechanisms, encouraging users to spend and trade Coin Hours instead of Skycoin. As the Skycoin project continues to refine Skywire — Skycoin’s groundbreaking decentralized and encrypted global mesh network — Coin Hours are set to become the currency with which to purchase bandwidth, storage, and other services on the Skywire network.

Skycoin Launches Skywire Mainnet

Mon, 06 Apr 2020 13:00:00 +0000

Shanghai, China —After two years of active development, the Skycoin Project is pleased to announce the launch of the Skywire Mainnet, a significant milestone and a crucial step toward realizing Skycoin’s vision of a truly secure and decentralized Internet.

The launch will roll out over two months beginning in April, giving current Skyminer operators time to upgrade to Mainnet. (A small Skycoin bonus will be awarded to those who migrate to Mainnet within the first four weeks of the launch.)

CXO 2.0 Reaches First Development Milestone

Sun, 22 Mar 2020 01:00:00 +0000

CXO 2, the second generation of Skycoin’s immutable object library, has reached the first development milestone toward its full launch later this year! CXO 2 represents a monumental upgrade to the previous version of CXO; it is a critical component of the Skycoin ecosystem, and forms one of the key components of the forthcoming Obelisk consensus protocol.

CXO 2 is a sophisticated data sharing and storage system, enabling users to share file structures (from a single file to a whole directory tree) by means of a default file transfer application. A local copy of the file remains with the user, and anyone who has requested a copy, or “subscribed”, will receive an identical copy of the file in their own local home folders. Whenever a change is made to the original file, only the delta from the original file, (only the portion that has changed), is downloaded to subscribers’ folders. This saves users from downloading the same data multiple times, and leads to a massive reduction in bandwidth use across the network. The ability to share files in a fast, reliable, encrypted, anonymous, and completely decentralized way has massive implications and incredible potential for future application development.

End-of-Year Skywallet Sale

Wed, 11 Dec 2019 01:00:00 +0000

Skycoin’s Skywallet launched at the end of November 2019 and sold out its first batch in less than 12 hours. New batches were quickly produced, and those quickly sold out as well. Now, to celebrate the success of the Skycoin project’s latest hardware offering, the Skywallet will be available at 30% off the regular price beginning December 24th, 2019 through to midnight UTC on January 2nd, 2020.

Like having a bank in your pocket, Skywallet is the most secure way to store your Skycoin. Wallet seeds are generated on the Skywallet securely, without the need for a desktop computer or an internet connection, ensuring your private keys are safe. In addition to Skycoin and Skyocin Coin Hours (SCH), a forthcoming firmware update for Skywallet will enable it to store other cryptocurrencies and digital assets, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Latest Version of Skycoin Desktop Wallet Adds Skywallet Compatibility

Mon, 02 Dec 2019 17:00:00 +0000

At the end of November, the Skycoin community saw the successful launch of the highly anticipated Skywallet, a portable hardware cryptocurrency wallet designed by Skycoin. The Skywallet is able to securely generate a wallet seed without connecting to the Internet or a computer. Users can send Skycoin to the address generated from the secure seed without fear that the seed is compromised.

Skycoin Development Update - Week 14

Fri, 05 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Skywire Update

During the past week, the bulk of the work dedicated to Skywire was focused on the Skywire Manager and on improvements to the network protocol.

Work on the Skywire manager re-commenced with a strong push to complete the login/logout functionality of the manager. Tests were written, run and passed. The login/logout function, critical to the security of the Skywire manager, is now complete and changes have been documented.

Skycoin Development Update - Week 13

Fri, 29 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Skywire Update:

Skywire has seen work on mainly two areas of the project: the Skywire Manager and automated testing.

The Skywire Manager has been picked up again and we have finished the login/logout of the Manager. Users can sign in and use cookies to authenticate themselves when managing their nodes. This is required for security reasons.

The other area where we have made progress is the creation of automated integration tests. Automated integration tests allow us to test the system with multiple services and instances running. So far we have relied on unit tests, which test only a single part, and had to do a lot of manual testing. Automated integration tests using the chat application have been created now and facilitate our work. We have created a development environment with a dockerized node and a docker network, allowing developers to build specific closed-network topologies for testing.

Introducing CXFX: The CX Graphics Library

Mon, 11 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

CXFX’s objective is to facilitate the development of games and applications using CX, allowing developers to focus on building their apps instead of having to write everything from scratch! This is a way to share and factorize knowledge.

At first, CXFX will be a library-only environment, allowing you to access CXFX functionalities from a CX program. The eventual goal is to have something like a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) game editor, like Unity.

Skywire Mainnet - Public Testing Announcement

Mon, 04 Mar 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Work on Skycoin began in 2011 with the merging of three separate projects that aimed to improve upon the design and implementation of Bitcoin. The Skycoin developers identified several major philosophical design issues that they saw as obstacles to global use of cryptocurrency as a censorship-resistant payment system.

Skywire, the decentralized internet protocol and mesh network, was created as a solution to answer many of these problems.

Skywire Mainnet is here for developers to test and help build with us.

After about ten months of intensive testing on a network of nearly 10,000 nodes spanning the globe, we are happy to announce that the developer version of Skywire’s mainnet is launching today!
