BOB to Undergo Hard Fork on March 12th
BOB (Build on Bitcoin) announced that the Jovian Hardfork, the next upgrade of the BOB mainnet, is scheduled for March 12. The event is part of OP Stack Upgrade 17.
According to the announcement, external node operators are expected to update their infrastructure before the upgrade takes place.
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.
