This commit only updates two documentation files to reflect that the default value for the -maxconnections setting changed from 125 to 200. It does not change any code, configuration defaults, or network behavior. There is no security issu…

net: increase inbound capacity for block-relay-only connections

This Bitcoin Core commit increases the default maximum peer connections from 125 to 200 and reserves half of inbound slots for block-relay-only peers that don't forward ordinary transactions. It also adds eviction logic so that when a new …

Default network capacity increased and inbound peer composition restricted, which can reduce the relative share of attacker-controlled transaction-relay inboundsNew eviction logic specifically targets transaction-relaying inbound peers, making it harder for an attacker to monopolize inbound slots with full-relay connectionsBlock-relay-only inbound capacity is expanded, improving network partition resistance

p2p: trigger possible eviction if we support bloom filters and change a peer to tx relay

This Bitcoin Core patch fixes a small logic gap in peer-to-peer connection management. When a node supports bloom filters, a peer could switch itself into transaction-relaying mode at runtime without the node checking whether it already ha…

p2p: Assume v2transport for addresses from seeds

This change makes Bitcoin Core assume that hard-coded and DNS seed nodes support the newer BIP324 encrypted transport (v2) when first connecting. If the guess is wrong, the software falls back to the older v1 protocol automatically. It is …

index: Don't commit ahead of the flushed chainstate

This commit fixes a corruption risk in Bitcoin Core's optional indexes (notably coinstatsindex). Previously, an index could save its progress to disk even though the main chainstate database had not yet flushed that far. If the node then c…

validation: Don't use m_chain.Tip() in FlushStateToDisk

This commit fixes a minor bookkeeping bug in Bitcoin Core. When flushing state to disk during a block disconnection, the code was incorrectly reporting the current chain tip (the block being disconnected) as the flushed block, instead of t…

net: add options to AttemptToEvictConnection

This commit adds two new optional controls to Bitcoin Core's peer eviction logic: a flag to only evict transaction-relaying peers, and a way to protect a specific peer from being evicted. The existing call site still behaves exactly as bef…

Touches peer eviction logic, which is security-sensitive because improper eviction can enable network partitioning attacks.Adds a 'protect_peer' bypass that could, if misused in future callers, allow a specific peer to be exempted from eviction.Adds an 'evict_tx-relay-peer-only' mode that could, if enabled, leave non-tx-relay peers permanently connected while tx-relay peers are evicted.
