Beldex introduced the Obscura hardfork, which went live on December 7, 2025, at block height 4939540. The upgrade includes multiple refinements, but its core improvement is the integration of Bulletproofs++. Bulletproofs++ are non-interactive zero-knowledge range proofs which are approx. 30-40% more efficient than Bulletproofs. Bulletproofs allow Beldex masternodes to verify that transaction amounts are valid without the knowledge of the value of the actual amounts.
