The Obscura Hardfork marks a major milestone in the development of @BeldexCoin. With this hardfork, Beldex enters a new phase of development. If you run any nodes, masternodes, wallets, or other parts of the Beldex ecosystem, you should upgrade your software immediately. This upgrade is not just a maintenance release but represents a significant increase in both efficiency and scalability of the Beldex network, improving the long-term viability of the Beldex network as well. The key enhancements are: 🔹 Bulletproofs++ As the name implies, this update will result in both lighter-weight and faster transactions while also making transactions much more efficient. The amount of data that needs to be created to demonstrate that the transaction is valid will decrease by approximately 38%, leading to faster verification of transactions, a smaller footprint on the Beldex blockchain, and more available space per block. 🔹 Increased throughput Smaller proofs will allow for a greater number of transactions to fit into each block, providing for a more seamless experience when interacting with all components of the ecosystem. 🔹 Improved performance for wallets and masternodes With this hardfork, wallets and masternodes will have a lower load on the CPU and lower memory consumption as well, providing for a more efficient sync process. This will also be beneficial to both mobile wallets and large masternodes. 🔹 Future-proof The Obscura Hardfork establishes the framework for the next wave of updates to be released by Beldex, including increased privacy tools, improved decentralized applications, etc. As a partner, exchange, operator, or developer, you should upgrade your binaries today in order to avoid becoming desynchronized from the network, as well as to ensure uninterrupted deposit and withdrawal activity. #Beldex has already issued v7.0.0, which is live, and running without any issues. My opinion is this represents one of the most seamless upgrades that Beldex has successfully implemented.
