Chain Signatures now supports EdDSA!

The step after: realizing that sharding is a better way to scale than L2s and going back to the original Eth 2.0 roadmap

Sharded smart contract is coming next. See wip github.com/near/NEPs/pull…

Join the discussion if you care about sharded smart contracts!

Well said Justin. I still think it was a mistake for Ethereum to abandon the original Eth 2.0 idea. I understand the concern about complexity, but that vision is basically live on NEAR Protocol today + stateless validation, with proven horizontal scalability

A great milestone for the entire ecosystem! This should bring about a big improvement in user experience as transaction latency is reduced by 2x for all apps on NEAR :)

NEAR has 100% uptime through 48 protocol upgrades

Synchronizing a chunk validator on near mainnet only takes 7 minutes 🤯

There is an important protocol change coming for NEAR Protocol community: NEP-536 that gets rid of gas refunds for transactions other than function calls. It was approved a year ago and only recently got implemented. There was an old mechanism called "pessimistic gas price" that

Here’s a high-level stack overview of Shade Agents that Proximity Labs has been working on. It is an extremely powerful design because with Chain Signatures, a decentralized group of worker agents can control the same key (derived from the smart contract) across various
