Hello!

I would like to inform you that the final Lima Release (5.0.0) is now available for download in GitHub.

ACCESS IT HERE

Update your nodes to Lima before October 30 to support the third major æternity protocol upgrade.

Lima will introduce a number of improvements and new features, including:

• FATE  -  Fast æternity Transaction Engine - æternity's customized virtual machine built for security and efficiency. A FATE contract is only 10% of the size of an Ethereum Virtual Machine contract.
• Improved Generalized Accounts that allow the use of a smart contract instead of a signature when signing transactions.
• æternity Naming System (AENS) auctions and a mobile aepp (will be accessible in the Base aepp).
• An on-chain governance mechanism with delegated voting and a mobile aepp enabling community voting on various subjects (will be accessible in the Base aepp).
• Improved State Channels usability in aepps.

Best,
Vlad
