Peerplays Blockchain mainnet release 1.6.0
Release type: mainnet upgrade
Who should upgrade: All the witnesses and SON operators are required to upgrade to this version
Hardfork date: 24-October-2023
Summary:
We are excited to to announce the main upgrade release 1.6.0. This release is introducing all the new features & improvements which was in active development for last one year.
This upgrade brings the ability to perform cross chain transfers between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Hive and Peerplays. The Ethereum support is available for core asset (ETH) as well as for all ERC20 tokens.
The new features include:
- Ethereum - Peerplays cross chain transfers via Ethereum Sidechain Operator Nodes (ETH-SONs)
- We have introduced ability to execute smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain based on the consensus established on the Peerplays blockchain thus making it possible to deploy the smart contracts in an autonomous, decentralised manner.
- Ability to vote for Bitcoin, Ethereum or Hive Sidechain oracles (SONs) based on network type as opposed to a single vote for all three type of Sidechain Operator Nodes (SONs)
- Introduction connection pools which provides better resilience to Sidechain Operator nodes
- Various libraries like secp256k1, BOOST etc upgraded to newer versions
- Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements across the board
