IRIS Network Upgrades to Mainnet 4.0: A Modular Refactor and Enhanced Features
IRIS Network has officially announced its upcoming upgrade to Mainnet 4.0 on March 19, 2025, at approximately 06:00:00 UTC, at block height 29,186,000. This upgrade will introduce a modular refactor aimed at providing improved flexibility for developers and aligning IRISnet with the latest innovations in the Cosmos system.
Key Features of the 4.0 Upgrade: Modular Refractor and Cosmos-SDK v0.50.11-lsm
The modular refactor is a significant aspect of the IRISnet Mainnet 4.0 upgrade. Project teams will now have the ability to use modules separately, eliminating the need to load all of IRISHub’s functionality. This reorganization of self-developed capabilities will improve customization, reduce bloating, and streamline the team-building process on IRISnet.
Additionally, the integration of the latest Cosmos version, including LSM (Liquid Stake Module) support, will ensure compatibility with the broader Cosmos system, optimizing performance and facilitating Inter-Blockchain Communications (IBC).
Upgrading Schedule of IRISnet Mainnet 4.0
The on-chain upgrade proposal was submitted to validators/delegators on March 14, 2025. The Mainnet upgrade is scheduled for March 19, 2025, at block height 29,186,000. The Nyancat testnet was activated on March 4, 2025, and will remain live until the mainnet launch.
IRIS Network: An Internet of Blockchains
The IRIS network serves as an interconnected web of blockchains, providing a technological framework for decentralized enterprise applications. As an extension of the broader Cosmos network, any two networks within the IRIS network can communicate using the industry-standard IBC protocol. With the addition of semantic networks, IRIS opens up new business opportunities and enhances diversity and scale within the Cosmos network. IRIS Services bridge the gap between blockchain and traditional business applications, with the Mainnet 4.0 upgrade further enhancing its capabilities.
In conclusion, the upgrade to IRIS Mainnet 4.0 is a significant milestone, introducing modular refraction and alignment with the broader Cosmos network. Stay tuned for the enhanced features and improved functionality this upgrade will bring to the IRIS network.
