IOST Mainnet Olympus Launched
As the crucial underlying infrastructure of a public chain ecosystem, the mainnet’s performance determines its development. Since the mainnet launch, the IOST development team has maintained an innovative attitude and has updated and optimized its versions frequently, releasing Olympus v3.8.0 today.
Changelog
Olympus v3.8.0 is a compatible upgrade:
- Upgrade to golang v1.18
- Completed the mainnet migration from travis ci to github ci;
- ExecTransaction now allows returns of the gas/ram used for transactions;
- The mainnet monitoring ‘metric’ enables users to check the remaining hard disk space.
IOST is a new generation of high-performance public blockchain focusing on performance and developer friendliness. Some great features include:
- The V8 JavaScript engine is integrated inside the blockchain, so you can use JavaScript to write smart contracts!
- The blockchain is highly scalable with thousands of TPS. Meanwhile it still has a more decentralized consensus than DPoS.
- 0.5 second block, 0.5 minute finality.
- Free transactions. You can stake coins to get gas.
The infrastructure is scalable and stable. After the launch of IOST mainnet in 2019, developers have made a lot of great DAPPs on the IOST smart contract platform.
