Everscale

<p>Everscale is a complex and advanced technology that is being constantly developed and improved by several core contributors. Last year, several reforms were approved, and now all core network development is directed by the Strategic Committee. We plan to move even further forward and share the latest updates in these areas with the community on a regular basis. In this article, we’d like to present to you the current state of development.</p><h2 id="header-0">SMFT (Soft Majority Fault Tolerance), the Everscale consensus protocol</h2><p><a href="https://blog.everscale.network/blockchain/smft-the-everscale-consensus-protocol" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SMFT</a><strong> </strong>is an original Everscale innovation that raises the bar to 50% fault tolerance (compared to the 33% of BFT consensus), which is the maximum security level by design in decentralized systems.</p><p><strong>The current status of SMFT implementation:</strong></p><ul><li>The network is up using 20 servers</li><li>A constant small load is planned for testing purposes</li></ul><p><strong>Short-term plans:</strong></p><ul><li>Maintaining a constant workload</li><li>Deployment for public tests</li></ul><h2 id="header-1">New elector — a more advanced validation process</h2><p>Development of a new elector is in the active phase, which will bring more features to the validation process, including slashing capabilities and working with multiple Workchains. This is the first step in the further development of Workchains.</p><p><strong>Current status of the new elector’s implementation:</strong></p><ul><li>Slashing has been added in the intermediate version of the elector</li><li>The new elector is at the formal verification stage</li></ul><p><strong>Short-term plans:</strong></p><ul><li>Releasing the new elector and the configs</li><li>Transferring the test networks to the new elector</li><li>Launching the network with the new elector if backward compatibility is maintained</li></ul><h2 id="header-2">Reliable External Message Protocol (REMP)</h2><p>One more feature that the Everscale team and the whole community are super excited about along with SMFT is <strong><a href="https://blog.everscale.network/blockchain/everscales-remp-fair-technology-for-a-fair-network" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">REMP</a></strong>. In a nutshell, REMP makes it possible to get a sub-second response within the blockchain and provide the same performance and UX as regular SQL databases or apps, but on the blockchain.</p><p><strong>Current status:</strong></p><ul><li>The protocol has been in active testing since November and is ready for public tests</li><li>A lot of bugs have been fixed</li><li>Local refinement has been carried out</li><li>The database has been optimized — there were a few issues with the database that could have led to reduced performance of validators</li><li>The protocol has been optimized and stabilized as the load on the chain increases</li></ul><p><strong>Short-term plans:</strong></p><ul><li>Starting public tests</li></ul><h2 id="header-3">Everscale node development</h2><p>Another very important area where the resources of the core developers are focused is the Everscale node. The current update brings some improvements that will help developers building on Everscale to interact with smart contracts more efficiently and ease the coding routine.</p><p><strong>Current status:</strong></p><ul><li>New block version: 34</li><li>Fixed bugs and optimized data storage node</li></ul><p><strong>Short-term plans:</strong></p><ul><li>Releasing with block 35 (optimizations and minor fixes)</li><li>Decreasing the network’s gas fees</li><li>REMP prep and testing</li></ul><h2 id="header-4">Summary</h2><p>On top of the above, the current focus for the core team is to collect and merge all the latest Everscale code repositories in one place (as a lot of things are developed in parallel) and start implementing new features. Development in the Eversale network is an active process, and we have decided to publish articles on the state of development on a regular basis. Stay tuned to our social media!</p><h2 id="header-5">About the Everscale network</h2><p>Everscale is one of the most technologically advanced blockchain networks, incorporating all of the blockchain innovations and concepts of recent years. Its versatility gives it the potential to become a decentralized hub for lots of blockchains and resource-demanding applications such as GameFi, DeFi, supply chains, etc. Due to its dynamic multithreading and sharding technology, there’s always more room to add new nodes and shards to handle any load — and that’s something that no other blockchain can offer yet.</p><p>Everscale has powerful developer tools, such as compilers for Solidity and C&#43;&#43;, SDK and API, client libraries ported to more than 20 languages and platforms, and a range of decentralized browsers and wallets.</p><p><strong>More About the Everscale network:<br /></strong><a href="https://everscale.network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Website</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Everscale_net" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://everscale.network/docs/everscale-whitepaper.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Whitepaper</a> | <a href="https://github.com/tonlabs/tondev/blob/main/docs/quick_start.md" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Github</a> | <a href="https://t.me/everscale_news" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram Ann</a> | <a href="https://t.me/everscale" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Telegram</a> | <a href="https://discord.gg/everscale" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Discord</a></p>
