Ronin Network has completed the Shillin hard fork, reducing block finalization time to 6 seconds

Sky Mavis posted on the X platform that the Ronin Network mainnet has completed the Shillin hard fork on October 26. Inspired by Ethereum 2.0, Ronin introduced a voting process for this hard fork to accelerate block finalization. Since Ronin uses the DPoS mechanism, only 22 validators are selected, so the voting process can be completed within two blocks. The finalization time for a block has been reduced from 45 seconds to 6 seconds. According to previous news on October 13, the game-specific EVM blockchain Ronin Network announced the launch of the Lucas (v2.6.2) upgrade and Shillin hard fork on the Ronin main network, and recommended that users running validators or RPC nodes on the main network in October Upgrade to the Lucas version before the 26th. This version implements Optimistic Fast Finality (REP-0003) and REP-0002 multiple protocol improvements. Among them, REP-0003 proposes a new fast finalization mechanism aimed at improving the speed of transaction confirmation on Ronin; REP-0002 describes the process of moving Bridge to an independent application on Ronin, which will allow Bridge to be managed by its own The group operator operates without requiring a validator to run.
