  • —Testnet v1.8 set for September 30, 2026; mainnet targeted for October 22
  • —Median block times expected to improve by about 20%
  • —Sustained throughput projected to rise by up to 66%
  • —Networking stack replaced with libp2p; application-side mempool added
Why it matters: Faster blocks and higher throughput strengthen Cronos among L1s, while the Revenue-Backed CRO vote will shape token burns and staker payouts.
