Today, Tue Aug 12, Monad Testnet will halt at 13:30 GMT for a brief upgrade to the consensus mechanism. The changes that happened to testnet-2 two weeks ago (linked in the next post) are going live on the primary testnet. This is a big upgrade, as it brings the following to the primary testnet: - MonadBFT - JIT EVM - Support for real-time data via websocket and shared memory queue - Reduction in block times to 400 ms - Support for the BLS12-381 precompiles (EIP-2537) - and more!
