🖥️ Introducing our Opera Upgrade Dashboard! Starting today, validators on our Opera network are upgrading their nodes to be powered by our innovative Sonic technology, which will enable the network to achieve speeds of up to 2,000 transactions per second at sub-second finality. The chain will be considered upgraded once over two-thirds of its staking power has transitioned to the new technology, a process you can learn about and track in real-time with our new dashboard 👇 https://lnkd.in/eAEsGx2f (P.S. We’re keeping the name Opera to refer to this chain. However, once the network upgrades, it'll be powered by the new Sonic technology we've showcased for the past six months.)
