Neutron has announced Mercury Upgrade, the network’s most significant update yet. The upgrade will transition Neutron from Cosmos Hub’s Interchain Security to a fully sovereign PoS network. Key improvements: — 11x higher throughput — 18x faster block times (by the end of the year) — Supervaults – an innovative liquidity provisioning mechanism — NTRN staking & liquid staking — Faster user onboarding (under 30 seconds) — 2x network TVL growth — $10M liquidity boost With Mercury, NTRN will become a more attractive asset by offering staking rewards, DeFi utility, and fee rebates while maintaining a fixed supply and ensuring that all network revenue flows into the NTRN DAO. The Mercury upgrade is set for April 9.

Neutron is set to undergo a significant network upgrade on December 20th at 15:00 UTC. The upgrade is scheduled to take place at block height 5416000.
