LUNC News: Terra Luna Classic Completes Major Upgrade

In the latest LUNC news, the v3.1.6 upgrade introduces critical improvements, including a security patch for the WebAssembly Virtual Machine (wasmvm), now updated to version 1.5.5. This ensures that the Terra Luna Classic blockchain remains resilient against potential security vulnerabilities.

Besides, the upgrade also includes an enhancement to the gas simulation feature for taxable transactions, further optimizing transaction handling across the network. Previously, the gas simulation improvements had only been accessible to endpoint providers, but this upgrade makes it available for broader network use.

Meanwhile, the upgrade also halts the blockchain at block height 20085000, allowing validators to install the latest terrad client. With 100% of the Terra community voting in favor of this proposal, the consensus behind the upgrade was overwhelming.

Notably, Terra Luna Classic developer StrathCole, who initially submitted the proposal, noted that the patch and simulation improvements were key for the upcoming Tax2Gas feature. The support from both validators and community members underscores the growing momentum behind LUNC’s development.
