TRON is preparing a major Virtual Machine upgrade to align with Ethereum’s capabilities. The on-chain governance vote is scheduled for August 25, 2026, with 27 Super Representatives set to approve two network parameters. This upgrade introduces two key features: the CLZ opcode for gas cost optimization and a precompiled contract for secp256r1 (P-256) signature verification. Node operators must update their software to GreatVoyage-v4.8.2 (Pyrrho) by August 16, 2026 at 23:59 Singapore time or risk desynchronization from the network. Native P-256 support enables passkey-authenticated wallets and hardware security module integration found in billions of devices.
