TRON has rolled out a significant update to improve its technical infrastructure. According to TRON, version GreatVoyage v4.8.2 (Pyrrho) is now officially available.
The new version enhances compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem and includes various improvements in smart contract execution performance, node management, and network monitoring capabilities.
As a result of the update, the TRON Virtual Machine (TVM) has become more compatible with Ethereum's Pectra and Osaka upgrades. Additionally, a CLZ (Count Leading Zeros) command has been added for developers, and a new precompiled function for verifying secp256r1 digital signatures has been introduced. These improvements aim to simplify the migration of Ethereum-based applications to the TRON network and enhance the developer experience.
Significant changes have also been made to the infrastructure. In the new version, JSON processing has been migrated from the Fastjson library to the Jackson platform. Furthermore, node monitoring and performance metrics have been moved from InfluxDB to Prometheus. This is intended to improve network monitoring efficiency, performance analysis, and operational management.
The TRON team emphasized that the update to GreatVoyage v4.8.2 is mandatory. According to the announcement, node operators must upgrade to the new version by 23:59 on August 16, 2026 (Singapore time). Failure to comply may result in node synchronization issues and loss of network compatibility.
On the other hand, the TRON 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 the core node software. Operators using custom plugins are recommended to complete compatibility work with the new version as soon as possible.
Experts believe that this update will strengthen TRON's technical integration with the Ethereum ecosystem, modernize developer tools, and make a significant contribution to the network's long-term scalability and operational efficiency. It is expected to boost TRON's competitiveness in decentralized applications and smart contract development.
