Opera Network Special-fee Contract has been upgraded to 1.1.0-rc1!

We are pleased to announce the first upgrade of the Special-Fee Contract (SFC); stakers can now increase their stake, withdraw part of their stake and claim (but not withdraw) rewards.

The SFC governs the distribution of rewards to validators and delegators (both referred to as “stakers”).

Previously, a staker could not increase their stake (without losing rewards), unless they created a new wallet and staked the additional portion there.

A staker also could not partially withdraw their stake.

However, both are now possible.

We are currently integrating this new functionality into our PWA Fantom Wallets. In the meantime, a staker can access these functions by following the MEW Guide, which has been updated to reflect the changes in the ABI and MEW’s native integration of the Opera mainnet.

The full list of changes includes the following:
