Aptos Labs announced the mainnet release of node software version 1.47.1. The upgrade is mandatory for both validators and full nodes, ensuring network consensus continuity, while deposit and withdrawal functionalities are not impacted.
Key changes in this version address a prover issue where unsound result_of/write_of axioms on mutable references were fixed, improving the reliability of on‑chain proof generation. Additionally, a new native‑position StateKey variant has been added, along with per‑block NativeTransactionWrites support, expanding the capabilities of Aptos’s trading‑native modules.
The mempool component also receives enhancements: a pull_count label and a previous‑block latency metric have been introduced, providing operators with finer‑grained performance monitoring.
Developers can review the detailed pull requests on the Aptos Core GitHub repository, where contributions from community members such as @wrwg, @grao1991, and @zekun000 are documented.
Operators are advised to schedule the upgrade promptly to avoid potential incompatibilities, and to monitor node logs for any anomalies post‑deployment. The release maintains existing deposit and withdrawal processes, minimizing disruption for end‑users.
