Alephium to Launch Danube Mainnet on July 15
Alephium has announced the launch of its Danube mainnet scheduled for July 15, at 10:00 GMT. All node operators are required to upgrade to version v.4.0.0 prior to the launch. The updated release is available via GitHub, with step-by-step upgrade instructions provided in the official documentation.
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.
