On Thursday, the Avalanche Foundation announced via X that Avalanche Granite is now live on Fuji Testnet. Following successful activation and testing on the Avalanche Fuji Testnet, an Avalanche Mainnet release will be published, with a set future activation time.
This upgrade activates ACP-181, which significantly improves the robustness and cost-effectiveness of Interchain Messaging (ICM) verification on Avalanche's L1 chains. By allowing L1 chains to maintain a consistent view of the P-Chain, ACP-181 enhances the efficiency and reliability of ICM message handling across the network.
Furthermore, this upgrade introduces support for signature verifications using the secp256r1 elliptic curve via ACP-204, enabling innovative biometric data signing on the Avalanche network. The integration of biometric data signing facilitates the development of decentralized applications that require high-security standards.
Finally, this upgrade activates ACP-226, introducing a dynamic adjustment mechanism for block times on the Avalanche network, which enhances user experience by reducing latency.
Avalanche is an open-source platform for launching Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications and enterprise blockchain deployments in an interoperable, highly scalable ecosystem.AVAX is down 6.4% today and currently trades at $18.37 per coin.
