Filecoin - FIP 0097 Upgrade - 14 Apr 2025

The FIP 0097 upgrade introduces FEVM support for transient storage, making contracts cleaner and cheaper. Aligning with Ethereum's updates, this could improve Filecoin’s compatibility and efficiency. Enhanced smart contract functionality might attract more developers to the network, potentially increasing demand for FIL tokens. This upgrade could cause a significant price move if investors see it as a reason for growth and wider adoption. Conversely, if the update fails to deliver expected enhancements, it might lead to disappointment and a drop in price. sourceSmart contracts often used permanent storage for short-lived data. FEVM now supports transient storage, aligning with Ethereum’s EIP-1153. Cleaner contracts, lower costs, and better compatibility with existing tools. Available with the nv25 Teep upgrade, landing April 14.
