- RPC Whitelist system. It can give certain RPC users permissions to only some RPC calls.
It can be set with two command line arguments (`rpcwhitelist` and `rpcwhitelistdefault`). (#12763)
- A new `-asmap` configuration option has been added to enable IP-to-ASN mapping
for bucketing of the network peers to diversify the network connections. The
legacy /16 prefix mapping remains the default. See [issue
#16599](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16599), [PR
#16702](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16702), and the `bitcoind
help` for more information. This option is experimental and subject to changes
or removal in future releases.
