On October 5, 2026, Monero's test network (stressnet) will fork to implement FCMP++ and Carrot upgrades, enhancing privacy by expanding ring signatures from 16 to the entire blockchain. This fork affects only the test environment, not the main Monero network, so holders need not take any action. The mainnet upgrade date remains unset as development continues, while EU regulations have led to Monero delistings on many exchanges, complicating buying routes but not ownership. Investors should ensure their wallets and backups are up to date to prepare for future changes.
