October 2025 saw notable progress across status-go and status-desktop, delivering core upgrades, performance visibility, and codebase simplifications. In status-go, upstream compatibility and dependency upgrades were implemented to align with go-ethereum, local time source and benchmarking improvements were introduced to enhance performance observability, WalletConnect v1 support was removed, and database schema cleanup with migrations streamlined initialization and reduced deprecated structures. Desktop also benefited from targeted code cleanup removing dead chat transaction requests and unused group chat invitation RPCs, reducing complexity and maintenance risk. Collectively, these efforts elevate security, reliability, and developer velocity, delivering measurable business value through better upstream integration, faster debugging, and a cleaner codebase.
