📣 Major Update: @Polkadot’s Async Backing is here!

Our Shibuya testnet has successfully undergone a significant upgrade with the introduction of asynchronous backing!

This week we'll reduce block time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds - meaning you can expect faster transactions 🏎️

In addition, the maximum block weight will be increased from 0.5 seconds to 2 seconds, significantly boosting Astar's transaction throughput.

⭐ Expect async backing on Astar soon...
