Move Taproot signaling start date earlier to allow more time for miner preparation and coordination before the March 2027 timeout. Consensus changes: - Mainnet activation start: February 14, 2026 (was March 1, 2026) - Mainnet timeout: March 1, 2027 (unchanged) - Update nStartTime: 1771027200 (was 1772323200) - Applied to both mainnet and testnet deployments This extends the signaling window from 12 months to 12.5 months, providing miners additional time to upgrade and signal readiness for Taproot activation
Palladium Core
Setup
Palladium Core is the original Palladium client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Palladium transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Palladium Core, visit palladiumcore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Palladium Core on your native platform.

bin/palladium-qt(GUI) orbin/palladiumd(headless)
Windows
