NervaOne v1.1.0 – Bitcoin Has Entered the Chat

NervaOne Wallet and Miner v1.1.0 is here, and it brings the most significant addition since Android support – full Bitcoin ($BTC) integration. You can now run a full or pruned Bitcoin node, manage your BTC wallet, and send transactions, all from the same app you use for Nerva, Monero, and more. Your keys never leave your device.

Bitcoin (BTC) Support

NervaOne now integrates with Bitcoin Core via RPC. Key capabilities include:

  • Full and pruned node support with configurable prune size (default 50GB, roughly 50-100 days of transactions)
  • Create and restore wallets from seed using BIP39/BIP32 descriptor wallets (BIP44/49/84/86)
  • Restore from dump file – auto-detects descriptor vs legacy format
  • Fee and total shown for review before broadcasting a transaction
  • Wallet Birthday field on seed restore for faster blockchain rescan instead of scanning from genesis

Wallet and UI Improvements

  • Fixed balance precision display across wallet and transfers views
  • Transfer confirmation now shows fee, total, and block confirmation target
  • UI adapts per coin – controls and fields that don’t apply to the active coin are hidden automatically

Security

  • Fixed a path traversal vulnerability in wallet import where unvalidated file paths could reference files outside the intended directory
  • GitHub Actions workflow pinned to exact commit SHAs to protect against compromised third-party action releases

NervaOne can be downloaded from Nerva website or GitHub.

Nerva v0.2.2.0-RC2 QuickSync: 2x Faster

We recently covered how v0.2.2.0 dramatically improves P2P sync speed. Those same optimizations carry over to QuickSync and the results are just as impressive.

QuickSync improvement by block range

Block rangeImprovement
0 – 500k~46% faster
500k – 1M~43% faster
1M – 2M~47% faster
2M – 2.5M~67% faster
2.5M – 4M~62% faster
Overall~52% faster (2.1x)

Testing was performed on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X running Windows 11. Both versions were synced from block 0 using a fresh QuickSync file with no other load on the machine. v0.2.0.0 completed in 1h 37m, v0.2.2.0-RC2 in 46m.

The gains are consistent across the entire chain, with the biggest improvements in the second half where recent blocks are processed. Whether you’re syncing fresh via QuickSync or catching up over P2P, v0.2.2.0 is the fastest Nerva release yet.

Official v0.2.2.0 release coming out soon:

Nerva is now on KlingEx exchange

$XNV Now Listed on KlingEx

Nerva (XNV) is now available for trading on KlingEx, a small but up-and-coming exchange that just added $XNV to its lineup.

About KlingEx

KlingEx is an emerging exchange still establishing itself in the crypto space. It may not be a household name yet, but it adds another option for those looking to trade $XNV. More trading venues means more accessibility for the Nerva community.

Getting Started

Signup is straightforward: email, password, confirm, done. No lengthy verification process to get through the door.

KlingEx offers plenty of USDT deposit options, and depositing is as simple as generating a deposit address and sending funds. For $XNV specifically, expect 60 confirmations before your deposit clears.

Once funded, placing buy and sell orders is easy enough. Worth noting: KlingEx also offers liquidity pools, which is an interesting addition for a smaller exchange, something to keep an eye on if you’re interested in providing liquidity rather than just trading.

What is Nerva?

If you’re new to Nerva, here’s the short version.

Nerva is a privacy cryptocurrency built on CryptoNote technology, the same foundation as Monero. Every transaction is untraceable by design – sender, receiver, and amount are all hidden on-chain. There are no transparent transactions, no optional privacy. It’s private by default, for everyone.

Beyond privacy, Nerva is one of the few coins that remains genuinely decentralized at the mining level. It is CPU-mineable only, with no ASIC support and no mining pools, keeping the network in the hands of individual participants rather than industrial operations.

No company. No venture capital. No developer tax. Just a community that believes in what it’s building.

Start Trading $XNV

The XNV/USDT trading pair is now live on KlingEx:

A Reminder on Exchange Safety

As always – never keep more funds on any exchange than you are prepared to lose. Withdraw to your own wallet when you’re done trading.

Not your keys, not your coins.

Nerva sync speed testing

Nerva Sync Speed: A Big Step Forward

One of the most common complaints from new Nerva users is how long it takes to sync the blockchain from scratch. We heard you. We’ve been working on a set of code optimizations (tracked internally as PR65) specifically targeting sync performance, and we now have real benchmark results to share.

On an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X, PR65 synced the entire Nerva blockchain — over 4.2 million blocks — in 19 hours and 49 minutes.

The baseline v0.2.0.0 release was measured at 23 hours 9 minutes to reach block 3.5 million; extrapolating at the observed rate, a full baseline sync would take approximately 32–33 hours. That puts the overall improvement at roughly 40% faster, or about 1.67x the throughput.


Where the gains are biggest

The improvement isn’t uniform — it grows as the blockchain gets more recent:

Chain sectionImprovement
Blocks 0 – 1M (older chain)~6% faster
Blocks 1M – 2M~33% faster
Blocks 2M – 3M~37% faster
Blocks 3M+ (most recent)~40%+ faster

The part of the chain that used to take the longest is now the part that benefits the most.


What changed under the hood

The optimizations target two areas of the block verification pipeline that had become increasingly expensive as the chain grew past Hard Fork 12:

Redundant weight median recomputation. Block weight limits are calculated using a rolling median of recent block weights. The old code recomputed this median from scratch for blocks it didn’t need to — particularly during the initial block cache build and for blocks in the middle of large sync batches. These calculations now happen only when actually needed.

Smarter cache validation. When looking up historical block data, the old code re-validated cached entries using a full hash comparison even when a simple height check was sufficient. The new code skips the expensive hash lookup when the block height already confirms we have the right entry.

Neither change touches consensus rules — they are purely internal performance improvements with no effect on how blocks are validated or the chain itself.


These improvements will ship very soon, alongside wallet restore speed improvements and several other fixes, but this is only step 1. More significant sync speed improvements are coming in Hard Fork 13.

poppy_kucoin1 kucoin scam

KuCoin Scam Attempt

There are so many scammers in crypto. You have to be very careful out there. Here is Poppy Anderson supposedly from KuCoin, @Poppy_Kucoin1. The day of this conversation, this user ID validated on https://www.kucoin.com/cert. The next day, it was no longer validating.

He probably did not expect me to be able to submit the application and wanted me to come back to him for help, at which point he would probably offer “other solution”. Well, half a day after my last message, he deleted this conversation from Telegram which 100% confirms to me that this was scam attempt.

Wen Nerva on KuCoin? 😁

Hello team,

Anderson from the KuCoin Listings Team (verified on the KuCoin website).

Our team has recently evaluated your project for possible KuCoin listing consideration For selected projects, listings can proceed without listing fees, with liquidity required for our market maker

Verification: https://www.kucoin.com/cert

Looking forward to discussing the details.

21:27

Rob Coder

Hi. Nerva’s founder left the project in 2021. Nerva is community project and I’m one of the code/website/social maintainers.

Here is brief history if interested:
https://nerva.one/a-brief-history-of-nerva-renewed/

What are the details?

21:31

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Nice to meet you

21:31

KuCoin continues to rank among the top exchanges on CoinMarketCap,

So I believe you’re already familiar with our platform.

21:32

Rob Coder

Yes, I’ve used KuCoin a while back.

21:32

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

We are proposing a listing without any listing fees. We only ask for liquidity to support our market maker for 1 month.

KuCoin will use this liquidity during the period to provide smooth trading.

After the 1 month is completed, the full liquidity will be returned, and your token will remain listed on our spot market permanently.

21:33

So which pair u prefer for listing with Nerva?

21:33

Rob Coder

What are the liquidity requirements?

21:34

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

We just intial liquidity to create trading pair and once token get listed u can add more liquidity

So initial required LP for USDT pair would be

5k to 10k Usdt + Equivalant in tokens

21:34

We will manage the liquidity first 30 days then we send back LP funds to original wallet and u can start ur own MM

21:34

We will do massive marketing before listing date

21:35

Rob Coder

Yeah, raising $10k – $20k might be a problem. The community is still small.

21:36

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

How much can be done from ur side for the start

21:36

We just need to create trading pair first

21:37

Rob Coder

Why can’t trading pair be created with $500 + $500 in XNV? Why does it need to be this high?

21:38

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

For smooth start so we can raise price organically but since its community driven and volume still small we can accept small amount just to create the trading pair

21:39

Plz confirm

21:39

Rob Coder

If it’s $500 USDT + $500 XNV, that would work.

21:40

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

And once token get more volume after listing u can add more liquidity

We will do marketing for free

21:41

So announcement will be done within 2 hours after application done

Listing will be done within 5 days after announcement

21:41

Rob Coder

How can I confirm that this is legit offer through official KuCoin website?

21:42

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Sure u can verify me at kucoin verification page at our official website

21:42

https://www.kucoin.com/cert

21:42

21:42

Please check and confirm

21:44

Tell me once checked to proceed with steps of application

21:45

Rob Coder

I verified already but this sounds too good to be true so I’d like additional verification through official website or official X account .

21:45

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Just to clarify – we never use Twitter or emails for verification.

Those are only for announcements and updates.

That’s why kucoin has its official Verification Page, where you can check any real admin username directly. It’s the only secure and trusted method to confirm real kucoin representatives and avoid any impersonation.

21:45

We can send u an email from our official domain as second Verifcation

21:46

Rob Coder

Is the application submitted through the website?

21:47

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Yes for sure

21:47

Rob Coder

OK, so where do I go to submit the listing application?

21:48

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

the listing process is very simple:

1] Fill out the official KuCoin application form.
www.kucoin.com/listing

2 We’ll send the signed agreement for your confirmation.

Transfer the required LP amount as stated in the agreement.

4 KuCoin will announce the listing and start the marketing campaign.

21:48

I will follow step by step until application done

21:48

Hope steps are clear please read and confirm

21:51

Rob Coder

Yes, steps are clear. As long as application goes through the website and I’ll get confirmation from kucoin.com email that I can reply to, I think that’s good enough.

21:52

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Sure

21:55

Rob Coder

OK, I will fill out the application tomorrow. Do I need to put anything specific in there or just fill out what it’s asking for?

21:55

Poppy Anderson || KuCoin

Just fill what its asking

If u have any question about the form let me know to help thanks

👍
