Some recent highlights include:
- Renewed funding from the EF to accelerate development
- Completed Berlin and London fork compatibility (EIP-1559). It now passes nearly all the EF Hive testsuite, and 100% of contract execution tests (47,951 tests)
- New GraphQL and WebSocket APIs, complementing JSON-RPC
- EVMC compatibility, supporting third-party optimised EVM plugins
- Up to 100x memory saving during contract executions
- Asynchronous EVM to execute many contracts in parallel, while they wait for data from the network
- Proof-of-authority validation for the Goerli test network
- Updated network protocols, to work with the latest eth/65-66 and snap/1 protocols
- A prototype new mechanism for state sync which combines what have been called Fast sync, Snap sync and Beam sync in a self-tuning way, and allows the user to participate in the network (read accounts, run transactions etc.) while sync is still in progress
- A significant redesign of the storage database to use less disk space and run faster.
