⚠️ Version 0.8.0 is mandatory for all validators. Operator users: Restart the app and install the update when prompted. VPS/CLI users: sudo asentum-validator update The network is already seeing the benefits. Make sure your validator is running the latest version 💻

0.8.0 changes how Asentum moves and processes blocks 🔨 Multi-core signature verification, faster block relay, smarter leader coordination and more efficient state handling. Plus stronger crash recovery and consensus safety checks. A serious architectural upgrade ⚡️

The results are impressive 👇 ➡️ Block times: 8.5–11s → ~2.5s ➡️ Finality lag: ~30s → ~9s ➡️ Competing blocks: 2.9 → 1.04 per height ➡️ Block application: 1.5–2s → ~0.2s And validator memory usage has dropped by roughly 3 GB per node. All measured on the live chain 📏

Asentum 0.8.0 is here 🚀 A major overhaul of ANT (Asentum Network Transport), block propagation and signature processing is already delivering huge performance gains on the live chain. Block times are approaching 2 seconds again, even under sustained load. What changed 🧵👇

Imagine building subscriptions, automated payroll or recurring payments that execute directly on-chain, without relying on external bots 🧠 That's what ARC-21 is designed to make possible on Asentum. Now imagine what developers can build with it 🔧 asentum.com/standards/arc-21

Post-quantum security is our foundation, not our entire pitch ⚡️ Asentum combines quantum-resistant cryptography from genesis with JavaScript-native smart contracts, consumer-accessible validation and native automation. Security matters. So does what people can build with it 🔨

Asentum 0.8.1 is live 🚀 Following the massive performance improvements in 0.8.0, we've shipped a hotfix to restore validator participation after Shannon. The network is back to ~70–80 signers per block, up from ~47, with finality around 7 seconds. Here's what's changed 👇

Asentum v0.7.0 is here 🚀 The final phase of the Shannon Upgrade activates at block 528,000. Faster finality, major performance gains, smarter validator selection and expanded smart contract capabilities. (1/4) A substantial upgrade across the network 👇🧵
