Press Release
Introducing the ThunderCore Iris Hard Fork
The Iris hard fork will increase cross-chain compatibility to the ThunderCore blockchain, marking a new dawn for ecosystem expansion. What will it mean for developers?
Introducing ThunderCore Iris, the next iteration of the ThunderCore blockchain! The Iris hard fork will go live on Mainnet at block height 82312803.
The goal of this major network upgrade is to bring the latest EVM Istanbul features to ThunderCore and further lower the barrier of porting Solidity projects into the ThunderCore ecosystem. Iris complements the performance and security upgrade introduced in the Soter hard fork in December 2020. With the introduction of the Iris hard fork, ThunderCore will become one of the fastest, most secure, EVM-compatible, cross-chain ready, and developer-friendly public blockchains in the industry!
Why Iris?
Iris is the Greek goddess of communication, messages, the rainbow, and new endeavors. Being represented as a rainbow or as a beautiful young maiden with wings on her shoulders, Iris is the perfect symbol that personifies our incoming hard fork, as the Iris hard fork is meant to bring better cross-chain interoperability to the ThunderCore blockchain, creating a more developer-friendly platform for great projects to scale.
Roadmap
The Iris hard fork will be introduced with a phased rollout:
Phase 1: Estimated date: 10/12, Block height: 82312803
During Phase 1 of the Iris hard fork, the goal is to introduce a limited set of changes to ensure the stability of the Phase 2 rollout. The upgrades include:
- Move consensus info from consensus transaction to block header
Note: this should not require major updates to your codebase
- Limit the range of eth_getLogs queries to
- Testnet: approximately 2 days (2 * 86400 block) (toBlock – fromBlock)
- Mainnet: no limit
Note: the change will only affect the Testnet during Phase 1, developers should test the effects of the eth_getLogs change on Testnet during this period so as to prepare for the changes on Mainnet in Phase 2.
- Security upgrades
Phase 2: End of the year
During Phase 2 of the Iris hard fork, major upgrades to the ThunderCore blockchain will take place, including:
- The ThunderCore go client will be updated to be compatible with geth 1.10.8
- EVM opcode upgrades:
Note: add the CREATE2 opcode to allow interactions to be made with addresses that do not exist yet on-chain but can be relied on to only possibly eventually contain code that has been created by a particular piece of init code. This is very useful when porting Solidity smart contracts to ThunderCore, for example for state channels that involve counterfactual interactions with contracts.
- EIP-145: Bitwise shifting instructions in EVM – SHL, SHR and SAR
Note: add bitwise shifting operators in addition to the existing logical and arithmetic operators.
Note: add the CHAINID opcode to return the current chain’s EIP-155 unique identifier inside the smart contract for better cross-chain compatibility.
- Limit the range of eth_getLogs queries to
- Testnet: approximately 2 days (2 * 86400 block) (toBlock – fromBlock)
- Mainnet: approximately 2 days (2 * 86400 block) (toBlock – fromBlock)
Note: developers using eth_getLogs should update your Mainnet code accordingly.
The Iris hard fork brings better cross-chain compatibility to the ThunderCore blockchain thanks to the improved EVM compatibility. Combined with low gas fees, high throughput and industry-leading security, this makes ThunderCore an ideal Layer-1 chain to migrate your DeFi Dapp to. Get ready for never-before-seen Dapps and services on ThunderCore thanks to the Iris hard fork!

The Technological Revolution Ignites: Originschain and Edge Computing Driving an Intelligent Future
GlobePRWire / January 21, 2025, In today’s rapidly advancing technological landscape, edge computing, as a vital technical tool, is deepening its integration with blockchain technology to drive the arrival of an intelligent future. In simple terms, edge computing decentralizes data processing and computational tasks from traditional data centers to locations closer to the data sources. This reduces latency, improves efficiency, and enhances data privacy. Such a decentralized computing method is particularly suited for real-time processing and rapid decision-making scenarios, including smart devices, autonomous driving, and smart cities.
With the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and smart devices, the generation and processing of massive amounts of data have become a challenge in modern society. Traditional cloud computing centers often face bottlenecks in bandwidth, latency, and computational resources when handling these data. The rise of edge computing partially addresses these issues by distributing computational resources at the network edge, enabling localized data processing, reducing dependence on centralized servers, and dramatically improving response times.
In this context, Origins chain’s decentralized features offer new opportunities for edge computing applications. As a decentralized blockchain platform, Origins chain is dedicated to providing global users with distributed computing resources and data storage services, which strongly supports edge computing. Through Origins chain, users can contribute their computational resources, including idle GPU and CPU power, to participate in the network’s computational tasks. This resource-sharing mechanism not only enhances computing efficiency but also reduces reliance on centralized computing centers, enabling distributed execution of data processing and computational tasks.
Furthermore, Origins chain employs a Proof of Stake (POS) mechanism, where users earn rewards by staking tokens and participate in the platform’s ecosystem development and technological upgrades. As a result, participants not only benefit from shared edge computing resources but also actively contribute to the innovation and progress of decentralized computing platforms. This incentive structure ensures that global users can both share computing resources and play a role in advancing intelligent technology, thereby fostering the growth of a decentralized smart ecosystem.
Edge computing demands efficient, stable, and secure computing and storage support, and Originschain provides the ideal infrastructure for this purpose. Whether in finance, healthcare, or supply chain management, edge computing can perform tasks more efficiently, improve decision-making speed, and ensure data security through Originschain’s decentralized network. In these sectors, distributed computing reduces latency, accelerates response times, and ensures that critical tasks are processed promptly in real-time environments.
Additionally, Origins chain provides developers and researchers with flexible development tools and frameworks, enabling them to quickly deploy edge computing applications on the blockchain. This innovative development environment allows more technological applications to be realized on decentralized platforms, breaking away from the reliance on centralized resources and capital typical of traditional computing solutions.
In the future, with the deep integration of edge computing and blockchain technology, Origins chain will play an important role in building an intelligent society. By offering decentralized infrastructure for edge computing, Originschain not only supports the efficient operation of smart devices and automated systems but also creates opportunities for global users to participate in the intelligent future. As technology continues to evolve, Originschain is poised to become a powerful force in driving an intelligent society, providing continuous support for future computational tasks.
