Core’s Theseus hard fork activated on June 25, enhancing its Ethereum-compatible layer-1 blockchain. This upgrade focuses on improving transaction throughput and reducing fees, positioning Core as a competitor to Ethereum’s layer-2 solutions. Technical improvements include optimized virtual machine execution and storage efficiency.The fork could attract developers seeking alternatives to congested Ethereum layers, especially for decentralized applications requiring low-cost transactions. Success may intensify competition among Ethereum scaling solutions, potentially driving innovation across the ecosystem. Core’s performance post-upgrade will be scrutinized for reliability under load.Adoption hurdles remain, including ecosystem maturity and cross-chain interoperability. If Core demonstrates sustained scalability without compromising security, it may capture market share from established players. The upgrade reflects ongoing evolution in blockchain infrastructure beyond dominant networks.
