- Syscoin has announced the launch of its smart contract chain.
- This occurred after it reached its 1,317,500 block, which marked the completion of Phase 1.
- This has the potential to increase the value of the SYS token.
Syscoin (SYS / USD) is a decentralized public blockchain and development platform that offers high performance through cross-chain interoperability for tokenized assets.
Support for smart contracts as a catalyst for growth
On December 6, Syscoin completed block 1,317,500 and all miners closed and upgraded to 4.3 .
This took a couple of hours to complete and the network now has support for smart contracts.
Also, projects running on Ethereum can migrate to the Syscoin platform.
Syscoin now expects Phase 2 to bring much more to the platform, and there are plans to even roll out zk-Rollups across the network, which could increase the speed up to 210k TPS in Q1 2022.
Then there are the Phase 3 plans, which are meant to implement Validium technology to achieve 4 million TPS and ensure that the Syscoin platform has long-term viability.
All of this has the potential to increase the value of the SYS token.
