🚀 Oasys Announces Major Upgrade to Layer 1 Hub Layer in September

According to Odaily, blockchain gaming platform Oasys has announced a significant upgrade to its Layer 1 (Hub Layer) scheduled for September. The v1.5.0 update will reduce block time from 15 seconds to 6 seconds, aiming to enhance network performance and user experience in response to the increasing activity on the Verse Layer.

Oasys stated that the reduction in block time will double the processing capacity of the Hub Layer per unit of time, which will help support the growing number of users, games, and applications. However, the faster block generation may lead to increased operational costs for validators.

🚀 Fractal Bitcoin Addresses Incomplete Block Filling Issue

According to Odaily, Fractal Bitcoin has responded to user feedback regarding incomplete block filling on its mainnet. The company stated on the X platform that they have initiated an investigation into the matter. The issue arises because miners prioritize high-fee transactions and are constrained by two block size limits: the maximum block size in bytes and the maximum number of SIG operations.

When faced with a large number of high-fee MULTISIG transactions, a block can reach the 80,000 SIG limit, preventing the inclusion of additional transactions. Typically, SegWit transactions consume 1 SIG, theoretically allowing up to 80,000 transactions per block. However, this limit is rarely observed in practice. MULTISIG transactions consume 84 SIGs, meaning if a block is filled entirely with such transactions, the maximum number of transactions per block reduces to 952. This results in blocks not being fully filled in terms of bytes.

Fractal Bitcoin noted that some random blocks are completely filled because they include low-fee, non-MULTISIG transactions, occupying the remaining 75% of block space and increasing total block fees by approximately 20%. The company clarified that this situation is due to the existing mechanisms of the BTC mainnet and not a flaw in the Fractal browser. They assured users that they will continue to monitor the situation closely and work on improving network connectivity and performance.

🚀 Unisat Releases Fractal Node Update V0.2.2 to Enhance Network Performance

According to Odaily, Unisat has announced the release of the Fractal node update v0.2.2 on the X platform. The update includes the deployment of four official nodes for miners to connect to, aiming to reduce orphan blocks and improve overall network performance. The updated node software is designed to enhance block synchronization speed and mining efficiency.

🚀 Solana Developers Propose Increase In Network's Block Computation Limit

According to PANews, Solana developers have proposed an increase in the network's block computation limit from 48 million units to 50 million units. This proposal aims to enhance transaction processing and improve network efficiency. The details of this incremental increase were shared through Solana's improvement documentation on GitHub. The proposal is designed to boost transaction handling without compromising network performance.

Andrew Fitzgerald, a software developer at Anza and the author of the proposal, mentioned that the idea is still in its draft stage. This indicates that further refinements may occur before final approval is granted. The proposal reflects ongoing efforts to optimize Solana's network capabilities and address the growing demand for efficient transaction processing. As the proposal is still under consideration, stakeholders and developers may continue to discuss and refine the plan to ensure it meets the network's needs effectively.

🚀 Polyhedra AI Blockchain Completes EXPHORIA Upgrade

According to Foresight News, Polyhedra AI's blockchain, EXPchain, successfully completed its EXPHORIA upgrade on March 12 at 10:00 (UTC+8). This upgrade aims to enhance network performance and stability. Key improvements include reducing block time to 3 seconds for faster transaction speeds, synchronizing with Ethereum's latest upgrade in preparation for the upcoming Prague Fork, optimizing the Expander proof mechanism to lay the groundwork for zkML proof precompilation, and removing outdated forks to improve network stability and execution efficiency.

🚀 Polygon Heimdall V2 Mainnet Restored After Consensus Bug Disruption

According to Cointelegraph, the Polygon Heimdall V2 mainnet, a crucial component of the Polygon proof-of-stake chain, experienced a temporary outage on Wednesday due to a suspected consensus bug. The issue, which affected the communication between node validators, was resolved within an hour. Despite the disruption, the Bor layer, responsible for block production and transaction processing, remained unaffected. Polygon representatives confirmed that the outage was triggered by an unidentified validator's exit from the network.

During the downtime, block production on the Bor mainnet continued uninterrupted, and any discrepancies in network uptime and block explorer data are being addressed. Polygon is actively working with RPC providers to resolve sync inconsistencies that emerged following Heimdall's recovery. One provider has already resumed operations, albeit with a slight delay in synchronization. The incident underscores the importance of consistent network uptime for blockchain networks, which aim to offer a reliable alternative to traditional financial systems.

The Heimdall V2 upgrade, launched in early July, aimed to enhance the network's performance by reducing finality times to approximately five seconds and updating the tech stack with CometBFT and Cosmos-SDK v0.50. This upgrade is considered the most technically complex hard fork since Polygon's launch in 2020, according to Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal. While the upgrade has improved block times and network throughput, it has also introduced additional complexity and potential points of failure.

Previously, the Heimdall V1 layer was also a source of network downtime. In March 2022, Polygon faced several hours of downtime due to a software bug in the Heimdall layer, which caused validators to operate on different blockchain versions. The ongoing efforts to enhance network performance highlight the challenges blockchain networks face as they strive to maintain uptime amid increasing complexity.
