Validator Network Reaches 4,000 Strong
We’ve hit another incredible milestone - our mainnet is now powered by over 4,000 validators! This remarkable growth demonstrates the tremendous trust and commitment our community has in Pactus’s vision. Each validator plays a crucial role in strengthening our network’s security, decentralization, and governance structure.

Version 1.5.0 (Singapore) Release
We successfully launched Pactus v1.5.0 (Singapore), featuring the integration of the Ed25519 cryptographic curve. This significant upgrade went live at block 2,320,000, enhancing our compatibility with third-party applications, particularly mobile wallets, while improving overall network performance.
TPS Performance Breakthrough
We’re excited to announce that our latest Testnet performance tests have achieved an impressive 100 transactions per second!
