The Tezos blockchain platform team активировала 13th iteration of the protocol — Mumbai. With the upgrade, developers integrated into the project’s mainnet a layer-2 solution, Smart Rollups.
The Smart Rollups solution is built on the Optimistic Rollups technology. According to Nomadic Labs, users получили the ability to run L2 nodes, compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and other virtual machines, for example, WASM.
This expands the list of programming languages suitable for creating and deploying decentralized applications on the project’s network.
Mumbai also introduces changes to the base protocol. In particular, thanks to the implementation of pipelined validation, the inter-block interval was reduced from 30 to 15 seconds.
In December 2022, the Tezos team activated the Lima upgrade, aimed at increasing network throughput.
