🤝 Upgrades to the underlying networking layer
💪 Quicker & safer Script execution
🔥 Up to 5x performance improvements on TPS

Only #onFlow! For more details, peek the 🧵⤵️

1/ 6x Faster Execution nodes?! Here’s what that means ⤵️

✅Massive improvements to execution node memory usage and checkpoint process
✅ Eliminates execution node memory spikes
✅ Reduces time to add new innovations & features in the future

Plus, mad bragging rights 😤

2/ Upgrades to the underlying peer-to-peer networking layer also brings a range of exciting updates for our community ⤵️

💪 More Byzantine Fault tolerant
💪 Rolling upgrade support for Execution and Verification nodes
💪 The foundation for even more leveling up in the future

3/ Rolling upgrade support for nodes means we are moving towards zero-downtime network upgrades in the future 🤯

4/ And the leveling up of Script execution on Flow comes through a range of upgrades - thanks to our developer community ❤️

FVM improvements, a new version of Cadence, & more. The Cadence upgrade will soon be live on Flow mainnet - but you can try it out on testnet already! 👀

5/ This new version of Cadence takes it to V0.28.0. Bringing with it interface implementation, storage iteration, dictionary key iteration and much more 🤯
