The Terra Classic blockchain has achieved a significant milestone with the successful implementation of version 3.1.6. This upgrade, which took place on October 4, 2024, around 09:42 AM GMT-4, was celebrated by the Terra Classic community and prominent figure Mr. Diamondhandz1.
The upgrade, triggered at block height 20,085,000, introduces crucial security enhancements and performance optimizations. A key highlight is the implementation of a critical security patch for the WebAssembly virtual machine (wasmvm), addressing vulnerabilities that could potentially compromise the blockchain’s integrity.
Strengthening Security and Efficiency
The wasmvm patch is a vital step in safeguarding the Terra Classic network, as this virtual machine is responsible for executing smart contracts. Any vulnerabilities in wasmvm could expose the blockchain to exploits, leading to financial losses for users and developers.
In addition to the wasmvm patch, the upgrade includes a gas simulation patch aimed at optimizing transaction processing. Gas fees, which are essential for executing transactions on the blockchain, can fluctuate based on network activity. The patch improves the accuracy and reliability of gas fee simulations, ensuring a more efficient and user-friendly experience.
Decentralized Governance and Community Involvement
The upgrade process underscores Terra Classic’s decentralized governance model. Proposal #12139, which introduced the upgrade, was voted on and approved by the community of validators. This demonstrates the network’s commitment to community-driven decision-making, where validators play a crucial role in shaping the blockchain’s future.

This successful upgrade further solidifies Terra Classic’s position as a leading player in the decentralized finance space. By prioritizing security and performance enhancements, the network is well-positioned to attract developers and users seeking a reliable and secure platform for building and interacting with decentralized applications.
