DigiByte Wallet v4.0.40
August 19, 2026
Fixes the cause of “my wallet started re-syncing from scratch.” Whenever the wallet had to rebuild its connection to the network — after a Wi‑Fi drop, a period with no peers, or a stalled sync — it was quietly throwing away its place in the chain and starting again from the wallet’s creation date. On a wallet with history that meant re-scanning well over a million blocks and hours of catching up, for something that should have taken seconds.
It now does three things it was not doing: it reloads its current position before rebuilding, it keeps the record of which parts of the chain it has already scanned instead of deleting that record during routine recovery, and it saves the progress held in memory before tearing anything down. Recovery that used to cost hours now costs a moment.
Verified on a real device rather than only in tests: dropping Wi‑Fi triggered four separate rebuilds in under a minute, and every one resumed at the tip of the chain instead of falling back to the start. If your wallet has ever appeared to re-sync itself for no reason, this is the release that stops it.
