Odyssey 3.1 which is the newest version of Tron went live last evening at 8 pm SGT Sun confirmed this on Twitter as a result of community consensus.

It’s important to mention that this change also included the launch of Tron Virtual Machine.

Tron VM will allow developers to test smart contracts before they transfer to the Tron mainnet.
