The Avalanche network recently activated the highly anticipated Cortina upgrade on its Fuji testnet. This upgrade is created to make it easier for the exchanges that use the X-Chain Bridge protocol, Avalance's official protocol used for the transfer and reception of funds. Furthermore, the upgrade might accelerate future development progress.

The evergreen subnet was introduced to the blockchain ecosystem by the layer 1 blockchain technology developer, Ava Labs. It is an institution that works to reinforce and secure the blockchain network. This upgrade brings hope for the community members of Avalanche as the AVAX token has recently seen a surge of 1.65% over the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, the AVAX token is trading at the price of $18.09.

The Cortina upgrade comes with certain protocol optimisations however, they are not compatible with AvalancheGo v1.10.0 versions. Therefore, if you run a node on Fuji, you must upgrade your software to the latest version of AvalancheGo before the activation of Cortina. On the other hand, if you are a mainnet node operator, you won't need to act until the release of the official AvalancheGo@v1.10.0 code.

The implementation of the Cortina upgrade signals a positive development for the frequent users of Avalanche network, especially for the exchanges and developers. So far, the network is running smoothly and with the help of the upgrade development can progress further. The Avalanche network is known for its scalability, flexibility, and for providing a platform for foundation building. The Cortina upgrade may amplify those features, making it a decent alternative for those who want access to a secure, transparent and easy to use protocol when it comes to transferring and receiving funds. The technology hopes to enhance the blockchain industry and secure information in a way that has not been done before.
