Network Update to v0.2.12
The Gonka network is preparing for a major update to v0.2.12. This update includes changes to the `api` and `node` services, and adds a new `versiond` service. Hosts do not need to urgently update their containers, but after the network update, they will need to deploy `versiond` and update `proxy`. Key changes:
1) Multi-model PoC — Proof of Compute now works for each model independently in separate groups, which closes the vulnerability of a one-time hardware launch attack only for verification and paves the way for true multi-modality of the network.
2) New Kimi K2.6 governance model (`moonshotai/Kimi-K2.6`) — the first candidate for parallel operation with the base model, through which the entire multi-model PoC infrastructure is verified.
3) Devshards (formerly “subnets”) have been moved to a separate versioned-runtime managed by the `versiond` service — now devshard logic can be updated without restarting the entire DAPI, versions can run simultaneously, each session is cryptographically linked to a specific binary version.
4) Anti-spam transaction fee framework — at startup `min_gas_price_ngonka = 0`, meaning fees are effectively disabled, but governance can enable a non-zero value without a chain upgrade; protocol messages (PoC, validation, inference, BLS) are exempt from fees.
5) Preserved MLNodes are now selected randomly for each PoC episode, not for the entire epoch — the operator no longer knows in advance which node will skip verification, which closes the old loophole for hardware substitution.
6) Certik audit findings for the chain, bridge, and BLS (GEB-44, GEB-45, GEB-46, GEB-51, GEB-54, GOC-15) have been addressed — all flags under v0.2.12 have been resolved.
