Current status
This page lists confirmed corrections and clarifications to the TIP Protocol Whitepaper, Version 1.0, in chronological order, each with the date of confirmation, the section affected, and the text as corrected or clarified.
2026-07-10 | Clarification | Section 7.2.1 Light Node
The first printing did not state a data-retention window for the Light Node. The specification is clarified as follows: the Light Node retains its entry-header and cryptographic-commitment data on a rolling one-year rotation, holding each entry for twelve months from the date it is observed and pruning it as newer entries are written, so the node continuously maintains a trailing twelve-month window of verifiable DAG history.
