ElastOS v1.1.0 is live. This release makes your personal cloud work even when your network tries to block it, adds one-click updates to the desktop launcher, hardens the installer for ARM devices like NVIDIA Jetson, and lays the foundation for a decentralized app store. The Keystone Fund DAO proposal is also live for voting.
DAO Proposal: Keystone Fund Now Live
The Keystone Fund proposal asks the Elastos DAO to mandate $3M for continuous ElastOS development — monthly releases, broader hardware support, AI agents, and a clear three-year roadmap from working product to agentic world computer. Proposed by Elacity CEO Sasha Mitchell and promoted by Elastos founder Rong Chen, it’s grounded in months of community feedback from the ecosystem and aligned through the team who everyone knows. Key benefits include structural ELA demand through protocol fees, transparent weekly shipping reports, and public accountability. Full details are in the proposal.
What’s New in v1.1.0
1) Stealth Networking — Four Layers of Censorship Resistance
Your ElastOS node now automatically finds the best way to connect — and if your network blocks it, it falls back through increasingly stealthy options:
- WireGuard — Fast encrypted tunnel. Works on most networks.
- AmneziaWG — Same speed, but disguised so firewalls can’t tell it’s a VPN. Built for countries like China and Russia that block VPN traffic.
- VLESS Reality — Makes your connection look like a normal visit to microsoft.com. Gets through even when all VPN-style traffic is blocked.
- ActiveProxy — Last-resort relay. Always works, no matter what.
It’s fully automatic, no configuration needed. Think of it like how Signal or Tor bypass censorship, but built into your cloud’s networking layer. Tested and working on macOS and NVIDIA Jetson.
2) Desktop Launcher: One-Click Updates
The ElastOS Desktop Launcher now shows your actual PC2 version and checks GitHub for new releases. When an update is available, a green “Update” button appears. One click and it updates everything — no terminal needed. The goal is simple: if you can use Spotify, you can run your own cloud. Apple licence is pending to support simple installation, Microsoft needs hardware support and testing in relation to the upcoming proposal consensus.
3) Desktop UI Upgrades
New full-width top bar with Elastos logo, search, wallet, profile, and clock. Switchable in Settings. File explorer got proper timestamps, better colors, and larger windows. Mobile taskbar now renders correctly on phones. A polished desktop lowers the barrier to entry — critical for a personal cloud OS competing for daily use.
4) Voice AI
ElastOS now has voice input with speech-to-text, context-aware processing, and local AI via Ollama. Your AI assistant understands your files and what you’re working on — running privately on your own hardware, not someone else’s server.
5) ARM Installer Hardened
The Jetson and Raspberry Pi install script was overhauled based on real failures reported by community members:
- Auto-downloads Go 1.24 if the system version is too old
- Builds AmneziaWG from source (the old method pulled broken versions)
- Pins sing-box to 1.13.0 (older versions dropped stealth tunnels after 5 seconds)
- Fixes a bug where running with sudo created a duplicate install
- Auto-sets the Jetson to maximum power mode (up to 25W)
Every failed install is a lost user. The path from “fresh Jetson” to “running ElastOS with stealth networking” is now one command.
6) Networking & Upload Fixes
- Faster reconnection — WireGuard now retries in 15 seconds instead of 60
- Upload verification — files are checked against IPFS after upload to catch corruption
- Structured logging — no more debug noise in production
- Credential rotation — server passwords rotated and removed from docs
Bug Fixes
- AV1/Firefox video playback fixed
- Search modal, profile dropdown, and loading screen polished
- Stealth tunnel no longer breaks when sing-box misidentifies AmneziaWG packets
- Launcher no longer crashes when switching environments
V2 Runtime: Capsule Architecture Progress
While v1.1.0 shipped, parallel work on the ElastOS Rust runtime hit a milestone: a working peer-to-peer chat system built entirely from capsules — five isolated components (identity, networking, shell, localhost, and the chat app) running on the new capability-secured runtime. What does that mean? Every app, AI agent, and service runs in its own sandbox. It can only access what it’s been explicitly granted permission to — verified by cryptographic tokens. No app can read your files, access your network, or talk to other apps without your approval. The three-layer model: PC2 OS (your hardware), ElastOS Carrier (the trust layer — decides who gets access to what), and AppCapsule Runtime (each app’s isolated world). This is the bridge from V1 (working product) to V2 (every app cryptographically sandboxed). No other system gives AI agents this level of granular, auditable trust.
dApp Store & Media Market: Planning Done
We completed a deep dive into the Elacity SDK and designed a decentralized app store and media marketplace for ElastOS. The vision: browse apps inside your desktop, install them from IPFS (peer-to-peer storage), and let creators monetize content using tokenized digital rights — no Apple or Google in the middle.
- Full SDK audit — all seven Elacity packages reviewed
- App store architecture — manifest format, IPFS registry, sandboxed apps, wallet integration
- App Factory — developers will be able to package and publish apps directly from their own PC2 node
- ERC-8004 — researched for AI agent registry and reputation (Phase 2-3)
This is now the top priority after v1.1.0. A personal cloud without apps is just a hard drive with a nice UI. The app store turns ElastOS into a platform.
Community & Docs
- Documentation portal fully updated — install guides, stealth transport info, launcher features
- Community members deployed on Jetson hardware this week and directly surfaced the bugs we fixed
- Supernode confirmed healthy: 10 active peers, 143 days uptime
What’s Next
- dApp Store & Media Market — build the app store and marketplace using the Elacity SDK
- Keyboard shortcuts — Alt+Tab, Alt+F4, and a shortcuts overlay
- V2 Runtime — continue advancing the Rust capsule runtime
- Community testing — more hardware, more feedback, more fixes
