Dash: V24 network upgrade introduces masternode shares - By 28 Nov 2026
Dash's mandatory v24 network hard fork is scheduled by November 28, 2026, with activation no earlier than block 2,580,480. Activation requires 85% of the signing quorum to run v24.The upgrade introduces protocol-level masternode shares, allowing smaller holders to pool the 1,000 DASH collateral instead of funding a full node alone. Broader access to node participation creates a direct but limited change in demand for DASH.⏰ Timeline• Masternodes & evonodes: upgrade promptly; Nov 9, 2026 00:00 UTC is when v24 signaling starts. It needs 85% of the signing quorum running v24.• Everyone else: upgrade before activation, which is no earlier than block 2,580,480 (~Nov 28).
