NEW: @flow_blockchain Forte upgrade is live on testnet. TLDR: It’s designed to fix fragmentation and reduce reliance on off-chain infrastructure. “Most networks weren’t built for consumers, but Flow was,” @roham said. “Forte extends our original purpose, to support applications built for millions of people, into finance.” Some standout features from Forte: • Removing need for offchain bots or custodians by embedding directly into the network • Shared foundation for DeFi protocols, bringing consistency across apps and reducing fragmentation in the ecosystem • Tokenized economy that allows assets like stablecoins and equities to be created and controlled by users at the protocol level • Its security-first architecture, Cadence, offers resource-oriented logic designed specifically for Flow’s system • Multi-node architecture prevents MEV, bringing more predictable outcomes Its mainnet is scheduled for Oct 22.
