Benefits of FVM to the Filecoin network
According to the Filecoin developer team, the launch of the FVM will usher in a new era for the Filecoin blockchain.
Specifically, the layer-1 network will see a refined system featuring smart contracts and programmability. The FVM also comes with further scalability and much lower fees for users looking to interact with decentralised applications (dApps.)
