The Shiba Inu blockchain underwent a considerable upgrade today. The Heimdall and Bor hard forks are online. They aim to improve performance and stability and include a scalable burning contract.
The Heimdall hard fork
According to the official documentationThe latest version of the Heimdall upgrade, namely v1.07-bone, has been released for the Shibarium blockchain.
Among the many features of the upgrade are:
- Documentation improvements
- Code validation improvements
- Dependency upgrades;
- Bug fixes etc.
Following the hard fork, validators on Shibarium must upgrade before the Dencun hard fork takes place on Bor. This would ensure compatibility with Ethereum (after its fork) by updating the bor package to version 1.3.7, which is now capable of handling blob transactions introduced by the Dencun hard fork on Ethereum.
The Bor hard fork
This particular release focuses on performance improvements, blockchain management, security, as well as the integration of some merges.
One of the most important features of the Bor upgrade is the new Burn Contract. According to the official documentation:
We are upgrading the Burn Contract to a scalable version to support exciting future updates and improvements. The new burn contract was deployed at address 0x541F60e5576764cA3957f70b6a1E60f3CE5886e0 on block 8200512, playing a key role in the deflationary mechanics of the ecosystem.
Other features include:
- POS Bridge Integration
- Deterministic range choice
- Geth merges upstream
- Consistency of the blockchain hard fork
- Security and other improvements.
