Shillin Hardfork and Two REPs
Ronin has always been a blockchain for gamers, and we know that gamers want the fastest transaction speeds they can get. That’s why we’re excited to release the Shillin hardfork and REP-0003: Optimistic Fast Finality. Together, these will reduce the time it takes to finalize a block on Ronin from 45 seconds to 6 seconds. That means users will find their transactions are confirmed much faster than before!

In this release, we’re also deploying REP-0002 to reinforce Ronin’s security and make future updates more efficient. REP-0002 moves the Ronin Bridge into a standalone application, which simplifies Ronin’s consensus code. It also means future Ronin updates will take less time and effort, while reducing the risk of certain security vulnerabilities.
