BNB Greenfield Testnet: Nagqu Upgrade



BNB Greenfield Testnet: Nagqu Upgrade

BNB Greenfield is undergoing Nagqu upgrade for the testnet version to v0.2.5. The Nagqu upgrade took place at block height 366648, estimated to be on Sep 15th at 03:20 AM considering the current block generation rate.

Please be aware that the upcoming hardfork will not impact your account balance on Greenfield. All buckets and objects stored on the Greenfield Testnet before will remain accessible.

What’s New

This version has undergone comprehensive security enhancements as the final hardfork version prior to the mainnet launch. This mainly includes:

  • The Greenfield resource mirror smart contracts apply more stringent parameter checks.
  • Preventing funds in payment accounts from being permanently trapped in the Cosmos Bank module through intelligent detection.
  • Introducing timer-lock mechanism: funds exceeding 100 BNB will be subject to a one-day lock-up period upon withdrawal from the payment account.
  • Enhance authentication logic between storage providers.

To enhance the user experience, the developer community is introducing new features and improvements.

  • Introduce the official native SDK for Ali Oss-based SP to enhance stability.
  • Improve the performance and stability of SP processing for file uploads. The standard specifications of SP allow for the stable processing of 10 files per second with a size of 1M.
  • Optimize user read traffic billing based on actual usage rather than download count.
  • Command line optimization, like support folder upload.

For other detailed features, bug fixes, and refactoring, please refer to the changelog in Greenfield Blockchain and Greenfield SP repo.
