- Shimmer Network announces the imminent launch of its EVM-compatible parallelized DAG ledger for smart contracts, boasting zero fees on L1 asset transfers and enhanced security features.
- The network also highlights its vibrant, inclusive community and a range of features that enhance developer experience and promote responsible data storage.
Elevating the Smart Contract Ecosystem
In a move that could redefine the smart contract landscape, Shimmer Network has announced its imminent ShimmerEVM launch. This breakthrough offers a parallelized Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) ledger optimized for fully customizable smart contract chains. For the uninitiated, a DAG ledger offers more flexibility and scalability compared to traditional blockchains, making it ideal for complex smart contracts.

The network places a strong emphasis on security. It features Miner Extractable Value (MEV) protection, essentially safeguarding against value extraction attacks that have plagued other platforms. Another notable feature is the elimination of bridges, which enhances both security and resilience in asset transfers.
On the developmental front, the network offers an OpenAPI specification for easy documentation generation, promising an elevated experience for developers. Additionally, the network’s storage deposit mechanism encourages responsible data storage while its extended UTXO model opens doors for unique output types, including NFTs that function as standalone wallets.
Shimmer Network’s approach extends beyond technology; its ethos embodies community-driven development and an environmentally-conscious consensus mechanism. With a robust, audited range of projects ready for launch, Shimmer seems poised to set a new standard in the ever-evolving smart contract arena.
