- New instructions are added for the TVM, including create2, bitwise shifting, and extcodehash, supporting more new features;
- Allow contract deployer to clear his contract’s existed ABI, further improving the privacy of the contract;
- Implement a more lightweight built-in event server, providing convenience for DApp developers to customize their own event service when they choose to switch on this feature.
- Enhance protocol data check to prevent malicious data on the chain;
- Add transaction permission settings for users, compatible with multi-signature;
- Optimize the P2P network and the block/transaction broadcasting process for gRPC/HTTP interface, further improving the stability of the TRON network.
The forthcoming Odyssey version 3.6 upgrade comes at the right time as TRON MainNet continues to attract more dApp developers.
