The new version includes the new Rules witness scope, allowing for more flexibility when constraining transaction signature usage, alongside a range of optimizations intended to improve sync speed and TPS.

Developer Groups

COZ released Neon Wallet v2.11 with a number of key upgrades to its WalletConnect implementation. The initial implementation worked for basic applications, such as voting, but could not be used with multi-invoke transactions or in some applications due to a limited number of supported witness scopes. Shortly after the launch, GhostMarket became the first N3 dApp to support Neon Wallet.

Neo News Today released an article about Neo SPCC’s recent review of the new Rules witness scope introduced to the Neo N3 blockchain in the neo-cli v3.1 update. NNT’s article offers a primer on Neo N3 transactions, CheckWitness, and Witness Scopes, including the new Rules functionality.
