Dash Developers Set Date for DashCore 19.0 Hard Fork
Today, the forthcoming DashCore v.19.0 hard fork has officially reached the “locked in” status due to miner signaling, marking a significant milestone in its development. This transition indicates that the hard fork is set to occur at block height 1899072, a landmark event that is anticipated to take place within the span of roughly one week. According to the current mining rates, it is predicted that this milestone will be reached later in the day, UTC time, on July 5.
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.
