+# Triangles Modernization Roadmap
+
+**Goal:** Make TRI faster to sync, safer for wallets, and more useful as a currency — without breaking consensus.
+
+**Invariant:** Any change that modifies block validation, stake modifier computation, transaction format, or signature verification MUST preserve exact consensus with existing v5.x nodes. When in doubt, test against a synced v5.8.1 node.
+
+---
+
+## Priority 1: Faster Syncing (High Impact, Low Risk)
+
+### 1.1 Update Checkpoints (Easy, Immediate)
+**Problem:** Last hardcoded checkpoint is at block 2,186,940. `IsInitialBlockDownload()` returns false past this point, causing orphan limit to drop from 4000 to 750 — exactly what caused the fork deadlock.
+
+**Fix:** Add checkpoints every ~50,000 blocks up to current height (~2,207,000+).
+```cpp
+// src/checkpoints.cpp - add recent checkpoints
+{2190000, uint256("...")},
+{2195000, uint256("...")},
+{2200000, uint256("...")},
+{2205000, uint256("...")},
+{2210000, uint256("...")},
+```
+**Risk:** None — checkpoints are only used for IBD detection and quick rejection of clearly wrong chains.
+
+### 1.2 Increase Post-Checkpoint Orphan Limit (Easy)
+**Problem:** 750 orphans after IBD is too low for a low-peer network. During the fork incident, 750 orphans filled up and the node deadlocked.
+
+**Fix:**
+```cpp
+// src/main.h
+static const unsigned int MAX_ORPHAN_BLOCKS = 2000;  // was 750
+```
+**Risk:** Slightly more memory usage during forks. Worth it for resilience.
+
+### 1.3 Parallel Block Download (Medium Effort)
+**Problem:** Current implementation downloads blocks sequentially from one peer at a time during IBD.
+
+**Fix:** Increase batch sizes and allow concurrent block downloads from multiple peers:
+```cpp
+// src/main.cpp
+// During IBD, request blocks from multiple peers simultaneously
+unsigned int nGetDataBatchSize = IsInitialBlockDownload() ? 8000 : 1000;  // was 4000
+```
+**Risk:** Low — larger batch sizes are already proven in Bitcoin forks.
+
+### 1.4 Header-First Sync (Medium Effort)
+**Problem:** Node downloads full blocks before validating headers. A bad peer can waste bandwidth.
+
+**Fix:** Download and validate all headers first (compact ~80 bytes each), then download full blocks only for the best chain.
+- Separate `getheaders`/`headers` message handling
+- Download blocks only for the best header chain
+- Reduces wasted bandwidth during forks by 95%+
+
+### 1.5 Bootstrap Over HTTPS with Resume (Easy)
+**Problem:** Built-in bootstrap (`-bootstrap`) uses raw TCP and can't resume interrupted downloads.
+
+**Fix:** The existing `bootstrap.cpp` already supports downloading. Add:
+- Resume support (Range headers)
+- SHA256 verification of downloaded archive
+- Better progress reporting
+- Fallback mirrors
+
+---
+
+## Priority 2: Wallet Safety (Critical)
+
+### 2.1 Automatic Wallet Backup Before Dangerous Operations (Easy)
+**Problem:** Corrupt wallet = lost funds. No automatic backup before risky operations.
+
+**Fix:** In `walletdb.cpp`, before any rewrite:
+```cpp
+// Before wallet.dat rewrite, copy to wallet.dat.bak
+if (boost::filesystem::exists(pathWallet)) {
+    boost::filesystem::copy_file(pathWallet, pathWallet + ".bak",
+        boost::filesystem::copy_option::overwrite_if_exists);
+}
+```
+
+### 2.2 Detect and Report BDB Corruption (Easy)
+**Problem:** BDB corruption silently corrupts wallet. User doesn't know until it's too late.
+
+**Fix:** Add wallet integrity check on load:
+```cpp
+// In CWallet::LoadWallet()
+// After opening, verify BDB environment is healthy
+// If DB_RUNRECOVERY, auto-salvage and warn user
+```
+
+### 2.3 Wallet.dat Versioning (Medium Effort)
+**Problem:** Single wallet.dat file. If it corrupts during write, funds are lost.
+
+**Fix:** Implement copy-on-write wallet saves:
+- Write new wallet data to `wallet.dat.new`
+- Atomically rename `wallet.dat` → `wallet.dat.old`, `wallet.dat.new` → `wallet.dat`
+- Keep last 3 wallet revisions
+- On load, try wallet.dat first, fall back to wallet.dat.old if corrupt
+
+### 2.4 Seed Phrase / HD Wallet (High Effort, High Impact)
+**Problem:** Losing wallet.dat = losing everything. No recovery mechanism.
+
+**Fix:** Implement BIP39/BIP44 HD wallet as optional upgrade:
+- Generate 12/24-word seed phrase on new wallet creation
+- Derive all keys from seed deterministically
+- Import seed on any device to recover wallet
+- Keep backward compatibility with existing non-HD wallets
+
+---
+
+## Priority 3: Network Resilience (Medium Impact)
+
+### 3.1 Better Peer Management (Medium Effort)
+**Problem:** Low peer counts (2-6) lead to fork divergence. No prioritization of reliable peers.
+
+**Fix:**
+- Peer reliability scoring (track which peers provide valid blocks)
+- Prefer peers that are ahead and on the same chain
+- Automatic disconnection of stale/forked peers
+- Increase default `maxconnections` from 64 to 128
+
+### 3.2 Compact Block Relay (High Effort)
+**Problem:** Full blocks are sent even when the receiver likely already has most transactions.
+
+**Fix:** Implement BIP 152 compact blocks:
+- Send block header + short transaction IDs
+- Receiver fills in from mempool, only requests missing transactions
+- Reduces bandwidth by ~90% during normal operation
+
+### 3.3 DNS Seed Infrastructure (Easy)
+**Problem:** `dnsseed=0` when Tor-only means no automatic peer discovery.
+
+**Fix:** Run a DNS seed server that resolves to known reliable onion addresses:
+```
+seed.cryptographic-triangles.org → returns onion addresses of healthy nodes
+```
+
+---
+
+## Priority 4: User Experience (Medium Impact)
+
+### 4.1 Progress Reporting for IBD (Easy)
+**Problem:** Users see "downloading blocks..." with no useful progress indicator.
+
+**Fix:**
+- Report `headers` vs `blocks` progress separately
+- Show estimated time remaining based on download speed
+- Log progress every 1000 blocks (currently every 5000)
+- Qt wallet: update progress bar more frequently
+
+### 4.2 Staking Dashboard Improvements (Easy)
+**Problem:** Qt wallet shows staking info but not clearly.
+
+**Fix:**
+- Show expected time to stake more prominently
+- Display staking weight as percentage of network
+- Notify when stake is found (system notification)
+- Show "staking" indicator in system tray
+
+### 4.3 Transaction Fee Estimation (Medium Effort)
+**Problem:** No fee estimation. Users guess.
+
+**Fix:** Track recent block inclusion rates by fee level, provide fee recommendations.
+
+---
+
+## Priority 5: Code Modernization (Low Urgency, Good Hygiene)
+
+### 5.1 C++17/20 Features
+- Replace raw pointers with smart pointers where safe
+- Use `std::optional`, `std::string_view`, `std::filesystem`
+- Replace boost::filesystem with std::filesystem (C++17)
+
+### 5.2 Build System
+- CMake is already in place (good)
+- Add sanitizers (ASAN, UBSAN) to CI
+- Static analysis with clang-tidy
+
+### 5.3 Testing
+- Current test coverage is thin
+- Add unit tests for:
+  - Checkpoint validation
+  - Stake modifier computation
+  - Bootstrap download/resume
+  - Wallet BDB recovery
+  - Orphan block handling
+
+---
+
+## What NOT to Change
+
+These are consensus-critical and must remain identical:
+- Block validation rules
+- Stake modifier computation (`ComputeNextStakeModifier`)
+- Transaction signature verification
+- Block reward schedule
+- PoW/PoS target computation
+- Chain trust / difficulty adjustment
+- Message serialization format
+- Protocol version handshaking
+
+Any change to these requires a coordinated network upgrade (hard fork).
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Order

+# OpenClaw Bootstrap Snapshot Guide
+
+## Purpose
+
+This document tells OpenClaw exactly how to update the existing Triangles bootstrap server so new wallets download a ready-to-use snapshot instead of downloading `blk0001.dat` and rebuilding the index locally.
+
+This guide matches the current wallet code in:
+
+- `src/bootstrap.cpp`
+- `src/bootstrap.h`
+- `src/checkpoints.cpp`
+- `src/version.h`
+
+## What The Wallet Actually Does
+
+When a fresh wallet bootstraps, it:
+
+1. Downloads `http://bootstrap.cryptographic-triangles.org/bootstrap.tar.gz`
+2. Extracts it into the data directory
+3. Requires `blk0001.dat` to exist after extraction
+4. Looks for `txleveldb/` and `snapshot.manifest`
+5. Keeps `txleveldb/` only if `snapshot.manifest` passes verification
+6. Deletes `txleveldb/` if verification fails, then rebuilds from `blk0001.dat`
+7. Always deletes `database/` from the extracted snapshot
+
+The verification rules are strict:
+
+- `format` must be `1`
+- `network` must be `main` on mainnet
+- `dbversion` must be `70509`
+- `height` and `hash` must exactly match a hardcoded checkpoint
+
+If any of those checks fail, the wallet throws away the shipped `txleveldb/`.
+
+## Current Hardcoded Mainnet Checkpoint
+
+As of the current codebase, the latest hardcoded mainnet checkpoint is:
+
+- Height: `2186940`
+- Hash: `bd952e8d4a612e336d840ad924a7e09395e36bcd9d929b302e47e60b5c3098c0`
+
+OpenClaw must not generate a manifest with an arbitrary tip hash. The manifest only survives if it matches a hardcoded checkpoint from `src/checkpoints.cpp`.
+
+## Important Limitation
+
+If the live chain tip is past the latest hardcoded checkpoint, OpenClaw has two valid options:
+
+1. Publish a snapshot taken exactly at the latest hardcoded checkpoint
+2. Publish `blk0001.dat` only, without `txleveldb/`, and let clients rebuild locally
+
+OpenClaw must not publish a `snapshot.manifest` for a height/hash that is not compiled into the wallet.
+
+## Files OpenClaw Should Publish
+
+The preferred `bootstrap.tar.gz` should contain:
+
+- `blk0001.dat`
+- `txleveldb/`
+- `snapshot.manifest`
+- optionally `peers.dat`
+
+It must not contain:
+
+- `wallet.dat`
+- `database/`
+- `.lock`
+- pid files
+- logs
+- Tor state
+
+Legacy fallback files should still exist on the web root:
+
+- `blk0001.dat`
+- `filelist.txt`
+
+## Requirements For The Source Node
+
+Before building a snapshot, the source node should be:
+
+- fully synced
+- cleanly shut down before copying files
+- built from the same code/version expected by clients
+- using the same LevelDB schema as the client (`DATABASE_VERSION=70509`)
+
+Recommended node config for the source snapshot node:
+
+```ini
+txindex=1
+addressindex=1
+daemon=1
+server=1
+```
+
+`addressindex=1` is recommended so clients that enable address index can benefit from faster indexed wallet rescans and address RPCs immediately.
+
+## OpenClaw Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Decide Whether A Prebuilt Index Is Allowed
+
+OpenClaw must first decide whether it can ship `txleveldb/`.
+
+Rules:
+
+- If the snapshot node is exactly at checkpoint `2186940`, shipping `txleveldb/` is allowed
+- If the snapshot node is above `2186940` and the code has not been updated with a newer checkpoint, do not ship `txleveldb/`
+- In that case, publish a blocks-only bootstrap instead
+
+### Step 2: Stop The Source Node Cleanly
+
+Never copy a live LevelDB directory.
+
+```bash
+trianglesd stop
+sleep 10
+pgrep -af trianglesd || true
+```
+
+OpenClaw should confirm the daemon is fully stopped before copying `txleveldb/`.
+
+### Step 3: Create A Staging Directory
+
+```bash
+rm -rf /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage
+mkdir -p /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage
+```
+
+### Step 4: Copy Snapshot Files
+
+For a verified snapshot:
+
+```bash
+cp ~/.triangles/blk0001.dat /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/
+cp -a ~/.triangles/txleveldb /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/
+test -f ~/.triangles/peers.dat && cp ~/.triangles/peers.dat /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/
+```
+
+Do not copy:
+
+```bash
+rm -rf /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/database
+rm -f /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/wallet.dat
+rm -f /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/.lock
+rm -f /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/*.pid
+rm -f /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/debug.log
+```
+
+### Step 5: Write `snapshot.manifest`
+
+If OpenClaw is publishing a verified prebuilt index, write:
+
+```bash
+cat > /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage/snapshot.manifest << 'EOF'
+format=1
+network=main
+height=2186940
+hash=bd952e8d4a612e336d840ad924a7e09395e36bcd9d929b302e47e60b5c3098c0
+dbversion=70509
+EOF
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- `hash` must not include `0x`
+- `network` must be `main`
+- `dbversion` must be `70509`
+- If OpenClaw is publishing blocks-only bootstrap, it should omit `snapshot.manifest` entirely
+
+### Step 6: Build The Tarball
+
+```bash
+cd /tmp/triangles-bootstrap-stage
+tar czf /tmp/bootstrap.tar.gz .
+```
+
+### Step 7: Publish To The Existing Bootstrap Server
+
+This guide assumes the existing nginx root is:
+
+- `/var/www/triangles-bootstrap`
+
+Publish the preferred tarball and the legacy fallback files:
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /var/www/triangles-bootstrap
+sudo mv /tmp/bootstrap.tar.gz /var/www/triangles-bootstrap/bootstrap.tar.gz
+sudo cp ~/.triangles/blk0001.dat /var/www/triangles-bootstrap/blk0001.dat
+printf "blk0001.dat\n" | sudo tee /var/www/triangles-bootstrap/filelist.txt > /dev/null
+sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/triangles-bootstrap
+```
+
+If OpenClaw is publishing a blocks-only bootstrap, the commands are the same except the tarball should contain only `blk0001.dat` and optional `peers.dat`.
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before marking the update complete, OpenClaw should verify:
+
+### Tarball contents
+
+```bash
+tar tzf /var/www/triangles-bootstrap/bootstrap.tar.gz | sort
+```
+
+Expected for verified snapshot:
+
+- `./blk0001.dat`
+- `./txleveldb/...`
+- `./snapshot.manifest`
+
+Expected not to exist:
+
+- `wallet.dat`
+- `database/`
+
+### HTTP responses
+
+```bash
+curl -I http://localhost/bootstrap.tar.gz
+curl -I http://localhost/blk0001.dat
+curl http://localhost/filelist.txt
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- HTTP `200`
+- `filelist.txt` contains `blk0001.dat`
+
+### Manifest sanity
+
+```bash
+tar xOf /var/www/triangles-bootstrap/bootstrap.tar.gz ./snapshot.manifest
+```
+
+Expected:
+
+- `format=1`
+- `network=main`
+- `height=2186940`
+- `hash=bd952e8d4a612e336d840ad924a7e09395e36bcd9d929b302e47e60b5c3098c0`
+- `dbversion=70509`
+
+## Fresh-Client Test
+
+OpenClaw should test the artifact on a clean machine or clean data directory:
+
+```bash
+mv ~/.triangles ~/.triangles.backup.$(date +%s)
+mkdir -p ~/.triangles
+trianglesd -bootstrap
+```
+
+Then inspect startup logs.
+
+Successful verified snapshot behavior should include:
+
+- snapshot downloaded
+- `snapshot.manifest found`
+- `manifest verified - keeping pre-built index`
+- no message about removing extracted `txleveldb/`
+
+Failure behavior will include:
+
+- manifest parse or verification failure
+- `removing extracted txleveldb/`
+- slow rebuild from `blk0001.dat`
+
+## Safe Publish Procedure
+
+OpenClaw should use this order:
+
+1. Build snapshot in `/tmp`
+2. Validate tarball contents
+3. Replace `/var/www/triangles-bootstrap/bootstrap.tar.gz`
+4. Replace `/var/www/triangles-bootstrap/blk0001.dat`
+5. Replace `/var/www/triangles-bootstrap/filelist.txt`
+6. Confirm HTTP `200`
+
+This avoids serving a half-written tarball.
+
+## Example Bot Prompt
+
+Use this exact tasking for OpenClaw:
+
+```text
+Update the existing Triangles bootstrap server on bootstrap.cryptographic-triangles.org.
+
+Rules:
+- Build the snapshot from a cleanly stopped source node
+- If the source node is exactly at hardcoded checkpoint 2186940 / bd952e8d4a612e336d840ad924a7e09395e36bcd9d929b302e47e60b5c3098c0, publish a verified snapshot containing blk0001.dat, txleveldb/, and snapshot.manifest
+- If the source node is above the latest hardcoded checkpoint, publish a blocks-only bootstrap and do not ship txleveldb/
+- Do not ship wallet.dat, database/, .lock, pid files, logs, or Tor state
+- Publish bootstrap.tar.gz, blk0001.dat, and filelist.txt to /var/www/triangles-bootstrap
+- Verify curl HTTP 200 for bootstrap.tar.gz and blk0001.dat
+- Report the tarball contents and whether the snapshot is verified or blocks-only
+```
+
+## Recommended Next Improvement
+
+This workflow will stay constrained until the next checkpoint is updated in `src/checkpoints.cpp`.
+
+If you want OpenClaw to keep shipping prebuilt `txleveldb/` snapshots as the chain advances, the software needs periodic checkpoint updates. Without that, the verified snapshot path will stop at the latest compiled checkpoint and clients will fall back to rebuilds.

+## TRI Node Upgrade to v5.8.0 - April 14, 2026
+
+This document outlines the process and results of upgrading the TRI network nodes to version 5.8.0.
+
+### Initial State
+
+- **DNS2:** `v5.7.9` @ block `2,203,611`
+- **DNS3:** `v5.7.5` @ block `2,204,954`
+- **Contabo Seeds:** `v5.7.9` @ block `2,203,594`
+
+Nodes were on multiple versions and forks.
+
+### Upgrade Process
+
+1.  **Version Confirmation:** Verified `v5.8.0` was available on GitHub.
+2.  **Upgrades:**
+    - DNS2 upgraded to `v5.8.0` via `dpkg`.
+    - DNS3 upgraded to `v5.8.0` via `dpkg`.
+    - Contabo seeds (`tri-seed-1` to `4`) upgraded to `v5.8.0` via `dpkg` inside their containers.
+3.  **Chain Reset:** To resolve forks, the chain data (blocks, chainstate, peers) was wiped on DNS2 and all Contabo seeds. Wallets and configs were preserved. DNS3 was left as the canonical chain source.
+
+### Current Status
+
+- All nodes are now running `v5.8.0`.
+- Nodes are currently re-syncing to the canonical chain. Monitoring is in progress.
+
+### DNS2 Wallet Corruption and Recovery
+
+- **Symptom:** `triangles.service` on DNS2 was in a crash loop. Logs showed a recurring `CDB() : can't open database file wallet.dat, error -30973` error.
+- **Diagnosis:** `wallet.dat` file was corrupted.
+- **Recovery:**
+    1. The corrupted wallet was moved to `wallet.dat.corrupted` for safety.
+    2. The latest wallet backup (`dns2-wallet_20260414_031501.dat`) was restored from Dropbox.
+    3. The `triangles.service` was restarted.
+
+This restored the wallet to a healthy state.
