+# Features
+
+## 1. Relayed v3 [#5741](https://github.com/multiversx/mx-chain-go/pull/5741)
+
+Relayed v3 feature brings a cheaper, improved version of relayed transactions, that can hold multiple inner transactions. 
+The inner transactions will be full transactions.
+
+Additionally, a fix on the base cost of relayed transactions was implemented, to follow the minimum gas rule. This fix affects all types of relayed transactions.
+
+Note: Relayed v1 and v2 will be deprecated and marked for removal once v3 will be fully adopted.
+
+The official relayed v3 docs are found [here](https://docs.multiversx.com/developers/relayed-transactions/#relayed-transactions-version-3).
+### Impact:
+* A new type of transaction must be handled when reading blockchain data.
+* There are new enable epochs definitions for this feature, called `RelayedTransactionsV3EnableEpoch`, `FixRelayedBaseCostEnableEpoch`
+* There are changes to the configuration options in the `config.toml` file, a new section called `[RelayedTransactionConfig]` was added
+* There is a new field in the `Transaction` structure, `InnerTransactions`, that can hold multiple other `Transaction` as part of relayed v3
+* No Node CLI arguments changes
+* No Node HTTP API endpoints changes
+

+
+## 2. ESDT improvements [#5821](https://github.com/multiversx/mx-chain-go/pull/5821)
+
+The improvements implemented on ESDTs enable the dynamic NFT functionality.
+
+### Impact:
+* There are new roles added `ESDTModifyRoyalties`, `ESDTModifyCreator`, `ESDTNFTRecreate`, `ESDTNFTUpdate`, `ESDTNFTSetNewURIs`
+* There is a new enable epoch definition for this feature, called `DynamicESDTEnableEpoch`
+* There are changes to the configuration options in the gas schedule files, new values were added for `ESDTModifyRoyalties`, `ESDTModifyCreator`,`ESDTNFTRecreate`,`ESDTNFTUpdate`, `ESDTNFTSetNewURIs`
+* No Node CLI arguments changes
+* API endpoints `/:address/nft/:tokenIdentifier/nonce/:nonce` and `/:address/esdt` will now return token type as well

+
+## 3. Crypto API, new Opcodes and EGLD in MultiESDTTransfer [#6139](https://github.com/multiversx/mx-chain-go/pull/6139)
+
+With this feature, new opcodes were enabled for developers, among with new crypto VM endpoints(`VerifySecp256r1`, `VerifyBLSSignatureShare`, `VerifyBLSMultiSig`).
+
+Additionally, EGLD(native tokens) can be now sent within MultiESDTTransfer (token identifier: EGLD-000000) along with custom tokens.
+
+Note: When using native tokens as part of MultiESDTTransfer, transaction value must be 0. 
+
+### Impact:
+* EGLD transfers within MultiESDTTransfer must be handled when reading blockchain data.
+* There are new enable epochs definitions for this feature, called `EGLDInMultiTransferEnableEpoch` and `CryptoOpcodesV2EnableEpoch`
+* There are changes to the configuration options in the gas schedule files, new values were added for `VerifySecp256r1`, `VerifyBLSSignatureShare`,`VerifyBLSMultiSig`
+* No Node CLI arguments changes
+* No Node HTTP API endpoints changes
