Secret Network v1.9: IBC v4 + VRF Mainnet Upgrade is Complete! 🎉
Secret Network’s latest network upgrade has arrived, and with it comes some powerful new features that greatly improve interoperability, privacy, and security!
This upgrade brings the network to version 1.9, which we’ve simply named IBC v4 + VRF, as those are two of the major new features included. IBC v4 is an updated version of the IBC protocol, which includes its own set of new features. Secret VRF is a random number generation API that can be used by contracts on Secret and on other chains via cross-chain protocols, an example of Secret’s Privacy as a Service functionality. Additionally, the upgrade adds an IBC Emergency Button, a new contract security mechanism called Execution Finalization, and a new contract privacy enhancement called Gas Evaporation.
Check out the blog for a detailed description of each of these new features!
