Aspen Upgrade Part 2 on Mainnet! This is the final piece to cap $TARA's max supply to 12bn and making the $TARA ecosystem long-term sustainable! 🚀
#Taraxa
Mainnet Validators, please ⬆️ upgrade to v1.8.0:
Build on $TARA means your Txs are 🚀 INSTANTLY🚀 included into DAG blocks!
dApps & users never have to wait or wonder when their Tx is in a block, or have to wait for the previous Tx to be included to send another 1 or 1,000 Tx.
#Taraxa
just works!
Why
#BUIDL
on $TARA? Tx cost almost nothing!
#blockDAG
& parallel + asynchronous EVM execution makes the network very fast, and our node architecture makes a node super cheap to run, creating an ultra low-cost network!
Why pay more?
$TARA's major
