eCash Prepares for Mandatory Network Upgrade Before November 15
eCash has issued a reminder to full node operators to upgrade to version v0.32.x before November 15, to maintain network synchronization.
The upcoming upgrade, supported by major exchange Bithumb, introduces improvements to the eCash mainnet aimed at enhancing network stability and performance. Deposits and withdrawals on Bithumb will be temporarily paused during the update process.
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.
