The TRON Nile testnet has recently launched a quantum-resistant upgrade and released the mandatory upgrade version GreatVoyage-v4.8.2-PQ1-build1. This version introduces post-quantum signature capabilities for the first time, supporting two signature algorithms: Falcon-512 and ML-DSA-44, further advancing TRON's technological exploration and capability verification in the direction of quantum resistance.According to the official introduction, the aforementioned capabilities can be applied in scenarios such as transaction signing, SR block signing, P2P relay node handshakes, and TVM contract verification. TRON reminds developers who have deployed nodes on the Nile testnet to complete the version upgrade as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the related new features will only take effect on the Nile testnet after being approved through proposal voting; the activation of testnet functions does not mean that the mainnet will go live simultaneously.

Recently, the TRON developer community officially released the mainnet GreatVoyage-v4.8.1 (Democritus) version. This upgrade is mandatory, and developers must complete the update by March 9, 2026, 23:59 (Singapore time) to ensure normal network synchronization and operation.The Democritus version focuses on introducing ARM64 architecture and JDK 17 support, significantly expanding the node deployment environment. At the same time, adjustments have been made to the SELFDESTRUCT instruction in TVM, fully aligning with the Ethereum EIP-6780 standard, further enhancing cross-ecosystem compatibility. On the network level, the version greatly improves network stability and security through P2P message throttling, synchronization logic, and error code optimization. In addition, the event service, API capabilities, and configuration governance mechanisms have also undergone systematic upgrades, continuously improving the developer experience.This upgrade reflects TRON's ongoing evolution in performance, governance, and ecosystem compatibility.

According to official news from TRON, its mainnet is expected to release the GreatVoyage-v4.8.1 (Democritus) version in November 2025. This upgrade will bring several key improvements aimed at further enhancing system compatibility, network performance, and overall stability, laying a solid foundation for the long-term evolution of the TRON mainnet.According to the official technical documentation, the GreatVoyage-v4.8.1 version includes support for ARM architecture and JDK 17, further expanding the system runtime environment; it also completes compatibility with changes to the SELFDESTRUCT instruction in the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to continuously improve EVM consistency. In addition, this upgrade covers node network optimization, API performance improvements, security updates, and database performance adjustments, which will significantly enhance the operational efficiency of the mainnet and the stability of node synchronization.This upgrade is an important milestone in the performance evolution of the TRON mainnet, reflecting the community's commitment to continuous optimization in multi-architecture compatibility, security, and decentralized governance.For more details on GreatVoyage-v4.8.1 (Democritus), refer to:https://github.com/tronprotocol/pm/blob/master/Democritus/mainnet.md

ChainCatcher news, according to the official announcement, the TRON Nile testnet has been upgraded to the GreatVoyage-v4.8.0 (Kant) pre-release version. This is a mandatory upgrade that will introduce several important updates and governance proposals: including migrating all Math operations to StrictMath to enhance node compatibility, strengthening consensus layer transaction verification to improve transaction processing consistency and stability, and adding multiple TVM instructions to be compatible with the EVM's Cancun upgrade, among others.The official specifically reminds that if you have set up a Nile testnet node, you need to upgrade the node version as soon as possible. It is important to note that the proposals added in Nile testnet GreatVoyage - v4.8.0 will only take effect after voting, and these new features being effective in the Nile testnet does not mean they will also be effective in the mainnet.
