The Monero project released the 0.18.3.4 “Fluorine Fermi” point update on November 14, 2025. This update includes command-line interface (CLI) and graphical user interface (GUI) binaries. Users are advised to verify hashes before installation, and guides for compiling from source remain available.
Other recent releases include P2Pool version 4.12, which now supports Tor connections and delivers several quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. For those interested in running a Monero full node without Docker, a guide by user Expatriotic is accessible here.
The Monero Merchant platform, initially introduced as a point-of-sale device, has rebranded to facilitate broader merchant adoption. It offers view-only wallets for merchants to onboard via a new server, accessible at register.moneromerchant.com. The project also provides direct APK downloads and plans support for Lightning Wallet Support (LWS), alongside creative solutions like 3-D printed, LED-lit merchant signs.
Security efforts have advanced with Monero node RPC endpoints reaching 100% fuzzing coverage, a process that tests software by inputting random data to find potential bugs. This achievement was reported by MAGIC Grants and noted by Privacy Guides.
In the decentralized exchange space, the Haveno DEX mobile app by developer atsamd21 reached its version 1.0.0 and went live on the mainnet. Feedback and testing continue to be encouraged. Meanwhile, RetoSwap, formerly Haveno Reto, is developing its own mobile application, with the repository open for monitoring.
Additional community tools include a global interactive map for locating Bitcoin and Monero-accepting businesses, available here. Also launched by MAGIC Grants is the Skylight wallet, a new node wallet solution featured in an announcement and a Reddit thread.
As of November 25, 2025, Monero’s blockchain height stands at 3,516,464 blocks with a network hash rate of 4.18 GH/s. The block reward is 0.6 XMR, which trades at approximately $387. Major price fluctuations for the week showed a 4.6% decline in USD value, but gains over the month (+14.6%) and year (+135%) indicate overall upward movement.
Community engagement remains active with new podcast episodes by Monero Monthly and Monero Talk featuring discussions about wallet usage, Monero’s value, and social activism in Mexico. Opportunities to contribute to software testing and proposal funding are also highlighted for interested volunteers.
