**RootstockCollective Releases**
**RC V9.0 Release Note**
**Summary**
**TL;DR:** The Rootstock Collective Foundation is pleased to announce V9.0, which continues to improve transparency and engagement across the community. This release includes better visibility for Builders on their rewards and provides a more usable USD Vault Sandbox experience.
Building on recent improvements in [V8.2](https://gov.rootstockcollective.xyz/t/rc-v8-2-release-note/736), V9.0 also introduces a new way to engage with Proposals involving LIKEs - we will be running experiments here to determine how to leverage this for the community.
To access the latest version, simply refresh your browser or visit [app.rootstockcollective.xyz](https://app.rootstockcollective.xyz)!
**Community Benefits**
- **USD Vault Sandbox** participants need to move USD in and out of the Vault and the ecosystem so to make that even easier you can now swap in both directions including USDRIF to USDT0 directly within the dApp using an embedded Uniswap-powered swapper…
And the overall Vault performance is much easier to understand across all strategies through use of the weighted Strategy APY metric…
…and to improve Transparency for Vault Sandbox users we now also provide the summary of USD Vault History for Deposits and Withdrawals, with a drilldown to individual transactions…
- **Transparency** is also important to builders - Builder Rewards History introduces a dedicated view for Claim transactions, with CSV export and mobile support — improving visibility, simplifying accounting at the business level, and reducing reliance on block explorers…
- **Engagement** helps drive the community and we have added LIKEs to proposals so that anyone with a Wallet can also express their engagement in addition to their vote…
…in order to experiment safely with LIKEs under the hood we are using [Sign In With Ethereum](https://docs.siwe.xyz/) for authentication with the Wallet whilst leaning in to the path to decentralization.
Additional updates have been included to ensure ongoing reliability and performance of the dApp.
