Bitcoin Core 31.1 Released With Chainstate and Privacy Fixes

Bitcoin Core has announced the availability of version 31.1. The project’s official download page lists 31.1 as the latest version.

The update includes new features, bug fixes, performance improvements and updated translations, according to the release notes. It also addresses issues affecting chainstate database behavior and the privatebroadcast feature.

Bitcoin Core is software used to validate and relay transactions on the Bitcoin network. The 31.1 release is a maintenance update focused in part on operational and privacy-related corrections.

Chainstate database rewrite issue addressed

Bitcoin Core 31.1 fixes an issue that could lead to repeated large rewrites of the chainstate database. The issue could result in excessive disk input and output activity.

The fix is relevant to node operators because chainstate data is part of the local database used to track Bitcoin’s current transaction state. The release notes identify the correction as part of the update’s bug-fix set.

Privatebroadcast IP leak fix included

The release also fixes an IP-address leak associated with privatebroadcast under certain conditions. Privatebroadcast is intended to support private transaction broadcasting, and the correction addresses circumstances in which an IP address could be exposed.

The release notes do not change the broader role of node operators in maintaining their own systems. Users considering an update should review the official release information and applicable operational requirements.

Latest version listed for download

Bitcoin Core’s official download page identifies version 31.1 as the latest release. The project says the update includes improvements beyond the two specifically identified fixes, including performance work and translation updates.

The release arrives as Bitcoin infrastructure and market issues continue to draw attention, including the structural risks discussed in One Year After the Crypto Flash Crash, Structural Risks Remain in Focus. Separately, regulatory developments such as CFTC Proposes Crypto Market Rules, Leaving Spot Trading Gap remain relevant to the wider digital-asset market, though they are distinct from this software release.
