CORE

Developer Platform

• Check out newly merged NFT spec!
• We published 3.0.1 for near-sdk-rs. Check out what is new!

Infra

• We hard-forked Testnet to reserve aurora account id for Aurora project;

Node Interfaces

• We performed total supply sanity check on all balance changes in our network;
• view_state now fails on state larger than 50KB, which protects RPC nodes from abuse;

Contract Runtime

• We now have a better model of our single shard performance and we cannot wait to use it to optimize our TPS
• It turns out that Wasmer’s native+singlepass execution is not that much better that JIT for singlepass, which makes our life easier, because we don’t need to migrate to native+singlepass VM;

Chain

• We are extensively testing our fast epoch sync;

Network

• We have implemented RPC endpoints to query and control p2p layer for diagnostics;

AURORA

EVM

• Checkout CLI for interacting with NEAR EVM!
• Also, checkout JS library for NEAR EVM interactions!

Bridge

• We finally merged a pure no-std implementation of connector between Wasm and EVM;
• We tracked down a bug in third-party ethash implementation caused by an overflow;
