Flow mainnet will undergo Crescendo upgrade on September 4 to provide full EVM equivalence

According to the Flow official website, the Flow mainnet will undergo the Crescendo upgrade on September 4 at 20:00 (UTC+8). Flow stated that Crescendo is the most important upgrade since the birth of the Flow network. This upgrade includes providing full EVM equivalence for all developers on Flow, and marks the maturity of the Flow native programming environment and Cadence 1.0. Full EVM equivalence means that any smart contract, protocol or tool running on the Ethereum mainnet will be able to run on Flow, similar to EVM L2. The difference with Flow is that developers can choose to write in Cadence and access Flow's native features and advantages, including improved user experience and performance. This network upgrade is estimated to take about 6 hours, during which time the Flow mainnet network will be in maintenance mode and will not process transactions.
