Bitcoin Core 32.0 Enters Final Testing With Faster Block Checks
The release candidate stage matters less for the speed gains than for the coordination problem it exposes: faster block validation and altered wallet payment preparation touch node operators and wallet developers on different timelines, and wallet-side changes tend to lag node upgrades. That split is where friction usually surfaces. Whether the wallet changes prompt compatibility issues across the broader ecosystem, rather than the validation improvements themselves, is the open question worth watching through rollout.
