Nervos Launches Major Protocol Upgrade to Future-Proof Against Scaling Limitations
NEW YORK, May 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nervos today announced the completion of a major protocol upgrade on the Nervos Layer 1 Mainnet, which will pave the way for brand new features such as cryptographic-friendly instruction sets, virtual machine versioning, extensible block header, and new cryptography standards to improve the efficiency, capability, and smart contract composability of the ecosystem. The hard fork marks a major milestone for the development team, as it addresses current issues developers are facing, such as scaling, as well as unforeseen limitations that may occur in the future.
- Smart contract composability improvements and preparations for a light client protocol, which will improve node syncing efficiency through Flyclient capability in the future, are also included in the major protocol upgrade.
- "With the completion of this major protocol upgrade, we're paving the way for even better network performance and experiences for our developers, dApps and partners."
- The major protocol upgrade is part of the Nervos' continual focus on improvement as it looks to rapidly grow its dApps and project partnerships.
- The Nervos Common Knowledge Base (CKB) is the layer 1, proof of work, public permissionless blockchain protocol of the Nervos Network.
