Abelian to Undergo Hard Fork on June 3rd
Abelian is set to undergo hard fork on June 3rd. The hard fork will occur at the block height of 284,000. This hard fork will introduce the Abelian User Protocol (AUT), a new feature that allows for issuing quantum-safe tokens and creating new wallet types.
What is a hardfork?
The cryptocurrency mainnet operates according to certain rules. To improve network performance or correct errors, changes are periodically introduced into it. A hard fork represents changes that are not compatible with previous versions of software supporting the cryptocurrency network. In order to continue to mine the cryptocurrency, miners need to update the software.
In some cases, as a result of a hard fork, a completely new cryptocurrency may appear, as happened with Bitcoin Cash and EthereumPoW.
