London, UK, March 12th, 2025, Chainwire
EXPchain is set to launch EXPHORIA, the latest upgrade to its testnet, introducing major enhancements in speed, efficiency, and Ethereum compatibility. Developed by Polyhedra, EXPchain is a high-performance Layer 1 designed for AI and decentralized applications. This upgrade marks a key milestone in Polyhedra’s vision for scalable and verifiable AI-powered blockchain infrastructure.
The upgrade will roll out on March 12, 2025, at 2:00 UTC and will take approximately 10 hours to complete, concluding at 12:00 UTC. During this process, all on-chain assets will be reset, and users are advised to prepare accordingly.
Key Enhancements in EXPHORIA:
- Faster Transactions Block times will decrease from 12 seconds to just 3 seconds, dramatically improving transaction speed and user experience.
- Ethereum Upgrade Synchronization To ensure seamless interoperability and future-proof the network, EXPchain will sync with Ethereum’s latest upgrade ahead of the Prague fork.
- Optimized Expander Proofs Expander Proof verification is being fine-tuned for greater efficiency, paving the way for zkML proof precompilation and advanced cryptographic capabilities.
- Network Stability and Efficiency All legacy forks from previous versions will be removed, streamlining the network for a cleaner, more stable infrastructure.
Support for Developers & Ecosystem Partners
Polyhedra will offer exclusive RPC and blockchain explorer services to ecosystem partners, facilitating early-stage service deployment during the upgrade.
Preparing for the Upgrade:
- Backup any necessary data before March 12, as all on-chain assets will be reset.
- Developers should transition their testnet integrations to align with the new network improvements.
- Follow official channels for real-time updates throughout the upgrade process.
The EXPHORIA upgrade marks a significant leap forward in making EXPchain more scalable, efficient, and developer-friendly. Users can stay tuned for further updates as they continue to push the boundaries of on-chain intelligence and innovation.
