Improved the P2P performance of the main network node, provided a support for a large number of light node access and prepared for the main chain upgrade and mobile wallet release;

Ethereum compatible side chain:

Started verifying the implementation of the Ethereum smart contract;

Built an open environment so community developers can experience Ethereum sidechains in advance;

Discussed and determined the corresponding scenario for anomalies;
