Fantom has officially announced that the upgrade of the existing Opera chain has reached the necessary 66% consensus level, marking its official launch. The launch date is consistent with the expectations set at the beginning of the Sonic testnet phase last October, and the project is progressing smoothly without any delays. Opera is now on track to achieve the following goals: ~2,000 TPS (~1 second finality) for variable/hybrid/complex transactions, ~4,000 TPS (~1.3 second completion) for token swap transactions, ~10,000 TPS (~1.6 second completion) for token transfers, ~66% reduction in validator node storage requirements, and ~95% reduction in operating costs for archive nodes.
In addition, Fantom will share more details on its upcoming chain's technology, token economics, audience engagement plans, partnerships, branding, and strategic direction in the coming weeks and months.
