Filecoin is governed through an open, community-driven process where technical decisions are discussed in public and implemented through regular upgrades that keep the network secure and evolving.

This upgrade delivered protocol cleanups and enhancements, including cryptographic precompiles for the Filecoin Ethereum Virtual Machine (FEVM), smart contract notifications for Direct Data Onboarding, Fast Finality on Filecoin (F3)-compatible snapshot formatting, and a new deposit requirement for storage provider (SP) creation.
