TRON Network Releases Major Update to Improve Its Technical Infrastructure!

TRON has implemented a significant update to improve its technical infrastructure. According to a statement from TRON, GreatVoyage v4.8.2 (Pyrrho) is now officially available.

The new version enhances compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem while also including various improvements in smart contract execution performance, node management, and network monitoring capabilities.

With the released update, the TRON Virtual Machine (TVM) has been made more compatible with Ethereum’s Pectra and Osaka upgrades. Additionally, the CLZ (Count Leading Zeros) command has been added for developers, and a new precompiled function for secp256r1 digital signature verification has been introduced. These improvements aim to facilitate the migration of Ethereum-based applications to the TRON network and enhance the developer experience.

Significant changes were also made to the infrastructure. With the new version, the JSON processing infrastructure was migrated from the Fastjson library to the Jackson platform. In addition, node monitoring and performance metrics were transferred from the InfluxDB system to the Prometheus infrastructure. This aims to make network monitoring, performance analysis, and operational management more efficient.

The TRON team emphasized that GreatVoyage v4.8.2 is a mandatory update. According to the announcement, node operators need to upgrade to the new version before 11:59 PM on August 16, 2026 (Singapore time). Failure to update by this date may result in node synchronization issues and loss of compatibility with the network.

On the other hand, TRON’s Event Plugin component has also been updated to version v3.0.0. Node operators using the official plugin are advised to update the Event Plugin first, then upgrade their main node software. Operators using their own custom plugins are recommended to complete compatibility work with the new version as soon as possible.

Experts believe this update will strengthen TRON’s technical integration with the Ethereum ecosystem, modernize developer tools, and significantly contribute to the network’s long-term scalability and operational efficiency. This is expected to enhance TRON’s competitiveness in decentralized applications and smart contract development.
