 ### Changed
 
+- Update from Monero v0.17.2.0 to Monero v0.18.0.0
 - Change Monero nodes to [Rino tool nodes](https://community.rino.io/nodes.html)
-- Update from monero v17.2.0 to monero v17.3.0
 - Always write logs as JSON to files
 - Change to UTC time for log messages, due to a bug causing no logging at all to be printed (linux/macos), and an [unsoundness issue](https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/latest/tracing_subscriber/fmt/time/struct.LocalTime.html) with local time in [the time crate](https://github.com/time-rs/time/issues/293#issuecomment-748151025)
 - Fix potential integer overflow in ASB when calculating maximum Bitcoin amount for Monero balance
