The Nv22 Dragon Upgrade is here! 🐲🎉

The upgrade brings major improvements to the Filecoin ecosystem, most notably through direct data onboarding, significantly reducing storage providers' costs when adding data to the network.

An independent organization that facilitates governance of the Filecoin network and supports the growth of the Filecoin ecosystem and the decentralized web.

More new features✨

– Switching over to the new Drand mainnet network (down to 3 seconds from 30 seconds!) = faster block times

– Removing automatic deal settlement in cron = security mitigation

– Add a lot more events to program more FVM smart contracts

~ Big picture ~

The Dragon upgrade brings more affordability for storage providers and more opportunity for builders!

We are so excited to see what the Filecoin community does with the new capabilities 😊

Direct data onboarding is a simplification of the core protocol. 

The cool thing about it:

Not only does it bring cost savings but it expands the design space for storage markets which can be built using FVM.
