According to Foresight News, Fantom Foundation said that as validators begin upgrading this week, a new Opera is coming, and Opera powered by Sonic technology will be launched soon. The upgrade aims to improve the scalability of the network. The biggest change is the new storage system of the Opera chain, which aims to reduce access time through file-based StateDB. For verification nodes, it is possible to reduce storage requirements by more than 90%. In addition, the upgrade also includes optimization and fine-tuning improvements to the Lachesis consensus mechanism.
