‘Factom Federation network’ is the second major release of Factom blockchain software and includes various protocol changes and a networking change that gives us the ability to further upgrade. The upgrading can be done in ‘Eight Federated Servers’ with increased censorship resistance and globally distributed, ‘Eight Auditing Servers’ with 8 new servers supporting the network, ‘Confirmations In Seconds Instead of Minutes’ with 600x improvement, ‘More Transactions Per Second’ with 5x improvement, ‘ Support For Multiple Blockchain’ with bitcoin and Ethereum network, among others.

The new version of software is a significant upgrade from Factom Genesis. “We will be rolling out Factom Federation and migrating our users, clients, and customers over the next few weeks,” the company stated.
