What’s New
- State Proofs: lightweight, cryptographically provable, portable proofs of Algorand state that let dapps on other blockchains trustlessly verify Algorand transactions, making it safer and easier to develop and use cross-chain products and services.
-
Max TPS of 6k
- Larger blocks: ~5x increase in max-block size (from 1MB to 5MiB), allowing up to ~25k transactions per block.
- Shorter round times: ~0.5s reduction in average round times (approaching ~3.9s).
-
AVM v7
- On-chain randomness beacons and oracles can now be built by taking advantage the new
blockandvrf_verifyopcodes. - Unfunded accounts (with 0 microalgo) can now issue transactions as long as their fees are covered by fee pooling in the transaction group.
- App calls are now implicitly given access to the app accounts for the apps specified in the foreign apps array.
- On-chain randomness beacons and oracles can now be built by taking advantage the new
