PANews reported on January 27 that according to official news, Nibiru has completed the code development and security audit of the Nibiru EVM upgrade. The Nibiru EVM upgrade, also known as Nibiru V2, is a "pure incremental" enhancement that makes Nibiru an execution engine equivalent to EVM. This upgrade makes it easier for Ethereum-based application development teams to build on Nibiru and use widely used tools like MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet.
It is reported that this security audit focused on Nibiru's core L1 logic. The team conducted a consultative security audit with Zenith in October 2024, and Code4rena customized a dedicated audit team for the project to work on specific code bases and requirements. After resolving potential security issues found in the audit, the team sponsored a competitive audit conducted by Code4rena in November 2024. This audit expanded the scope to include Nibiru's Ethereum JSON-RPC, core L1, and Nibiru EVM.
The team also mentioned several products that will be launched on Nibiru V2 in the January 2025 ecosystem update , including Oku’s Uniswap V3 deployment, Astrovault’s cross-chain value capture DEX, tokenized private credit and treasuries, and cross-chain USDC.
In addition, based on the Nibiru EVM upgrade, the team released the initial stage of the "Nibiru Lagrange Point" roadmap, which aims to further improve Nibiru's scalability, decentralization and user experience. Nibiru Lagrange Points include:
- FunToken mechanism: a unified mechanism for EVM and non-EVM tokens, without relying on third-party cross-chain bridges;
- Pipeline-aware reordered execution (PARE): improves throughput;
- Improved validator dynamics in NibiruBFT: including Boneh–Lynn–Shacham (BLS) signatures and a novel grouping algorithm to reduce overhead and speed up block times;
- Mempool Lanes: Enables ordered transaction flow.
