Higher TPS and new rollup features: Nairobi upgrade is live!

On June 24 2023 00:07:10 UTC, the Tezos blockchain successfully activated the Nairobi protocol upgrade at block #3,760,129.

This 14th upgrade was jointly developed by Nomadic Labs, Marigold, TriliTech, Oxhead Alpha, Tarides, DaiLambda, and Functori.

Included in Nairobi:

• An up to 8x increase in TPS for transactions, smart contract calls, Smart Rollup maintenance operations, and other manager operations, thanks to an improved gas model for cryptographic signatures.
• New functionality for Smart Rollups, including new host functions and new internal Layer 2 messages allowing rollup kernels to sync with Tezos protocol upgrades.
• Renaming endorsements to attestations.
• Faster propagation of pre-attestations to reach consensus earlier.

For more details, see the Nairobi announcement post. A deeper technical description can be found in the protocol proposal’s technical documentation, and a complete list of changes is provided in Nairobi’s changelog.
