Things to note

Minimum glibc version

The minimum GLIBC version required is now 2.35. If your OS does not support this version, rotki will no longer run. Please upgrade to a newer OS.

• For Ubuntu users: You need 22.04 or later.
• For other distros: Check compatibility individually.

First time startup will take longer than usual

When you first open the app with the new release the “Connecting to rotki backend” will take longer than usual. Wait it out and do not close the app.

Database upgrade may also take longer than usual

The Remove unneeded nft collection assets step of the current DB upgrade may also take some time.

History events redecoding

As always when you are upgrading from an older release, all your EVM history events will need to be redecoded. This is something that takes a bit of time (depending on the amount of events) but is required in order to apply all changes since last release.

The redecoding will be triggered the first time you go to the history events page after you open the new version. You can monitor progress by pressing the 3 dots menu (1) on the top right and then checking how many events remain in the popup window (2) as seen in the screenshot above. Have patience until redecoding finished.

Finally, keep in mind that any edited events won’t be touched, so you don’t lose any data.

Re-detection of ERC-721 tokens

Due to improvements to our support for ERC-721 tokens, all existing ERC-721 tokens are removed during the database upgrade, and re-detected during the re-decoding of history events. This may result in a number of New Token Detected messages.

DeFi section is removed

The DeFi section has been deprecated for some time, and is now completely removed. All supported balances should be properly shown on the dashboard.

Known Issues

Unfortunately a bug made it into the release where in many cases if you are tracking onchain BTC balances you will get an error: “unsupported hash type ripemd160”. We are working on fixing it and it will be pushed in 1.38.1

To count your bitcoin balances until we fix it enter them just like any other unsupported chain by using a manual balance as per the picture.

Release highlights

Historical events & prices as source for asset amount & value graph

For premium users, historical events and prices can now be used as the data source for the asset amount and value graph instead of balance snapshots. This enables the graph to show history before the asset was tracked in rotki.

Uniswap V3 balances

Uniswap V3 balances will now be properly detected in all supported EVM chains.

Spark

Spark transactions will now be properly decoded and balances detected in all supported EVM chains.

Binance Smart Chain

Binance Smart Chain is now supported. Balances will be properly queried and all transactions should be pulled and decoded. Also any addresses with activity on BSC should now be automatically tracked for BSC as well.

Events Analysis

A new section has been added for premium users. The “Events Analysis” section where they can see various analytics and statistics about all of their tracked addresses in a given timerange (all time by default). Examples are gas spent, protocols used etc.

Alchemy price queries

If you own an alchemy API key you can now put it in rotki. And it will be used for price queries giving you another oracle source to get prices from. If you don’t have one you can get one here: https://docs.alchemy.com/reference/api-overview

Paraswap V6 swaps

Paraswap V6 swaps will be properly decoded in all supported EVM chains.

Cowswap in Base

Cowswap swaps in the Base EVM chain will now be properly decoded.

Echo.xyz transactions

Echo.xyz funding and refunding events will now be properly decoded.

Firebird Finance swaps

Firebird Finance swaps will be properly decoded in all supported EVM chains.

OpenOcean swaps

OpenOcean swaps will be properly decoded in all supported EVM chains.

ETH Staking MEV changes

Before v1.38 we were trusting the MEV relayer with whatever amount they were telling us. Right now, we no longer do this. And only if the ETH amount has been sent to a tracked fee recipient is it credited as MEV. This means that we can now also properly see blocks where MEV payments are made in multiple transactions.
