Monero developer j-berman released beta stressnet version 3.1 on October 26, introducing faster wallet scanning and protections against denial-of-service attacks. This update is part of ongoing tests for a proposed privacy upgrade called FCMP++, which aims to enhance anonymity by expanding the set of possible outputs in transaction proofs. The beta remains separate from Monero's main network and does not activate FCMP++ on mainnet yet. Some features like hardware-wallet support and multisig are still unfinished, marking this release as a work-in-progress test rather than a finalized upgrade.
