The team said that the network is now fifty times faster, allowing it to handle up to 1,000 transactions per second, up from its previous 20 transactions per second. Called Chrysalis, the upgrade was meant to be a stepping stone as the network prepares to remove the Coordinator.

  • Ethereum Classic (ETC) had suffered multiple attacks lately and as a result, its developers want to implement changes and strengthen its defenses.

Among the biggest changes would be “defensive mining” that would make 51% attacks a lot harder to execute.
