v0.3.30 Highlights

An almost 2x increase in consensus decentralization.

  • The active validator count on Findora will increase from 58 to 100.

Increased the mempool of the validators and full nodes.

  • This change increases the number of transactions full nodes can accept.

The consensus layer is enhanced to be multi-threaded.

  • Reduced serialization and reduces transaction queuing.

Transaction validation is optimized.

  • We are driving towards full compatibility with Ethereum standards in terms of how transactions are validated and accepted into the mempool.

Reduce memory allocation and release.

  • This change optimizes how memory is allocated and released.

Removed redundant checking.

  • We are removing redundant privilege checks.

Improved SessionCache

  • We are enhancing memory management for all nodes on the network by optimizing the SessionCache logic, moving from a multi-simulator method to a single-simulator, delta-based method.

Reduction of Verbose Logs

  • Reducing log printing to improve resource consumption.

Improvements to Recover_Signer

  • We will cache the signer to reduce the number of look-ups for transactions who have the same signer in the block.

Findora Substate

  • Increasing the speed of inter smart contract calls and brings full compatibility with Ethereum exception handling for those calls.

These features and enhancements are separate from the privacy-focused initiatives coming to the Findora network, such as EVM Privacy, a decentralized identity (DID) solution powered by zero-knowledge (coming via FIP3), and auditability on a new asset class called Auditable Privacy-Preserving Assets, or APPA (coming via FIP2).

About Findora

Findora builds privacy through advanced zero-knowledge proof cryptography. An innovative layer-1, it combines a native UTXO ledger optimized for privacy with an EVM extension for programmability and interoperability. Developers can leverage either model as they build dApps with auditable privacy.
