Gnosis to Undergo Pectra Hard Fork on Testnet on March 6th
Gnosis has announced the upcoming Pectra hardfork, introducing significant upgrades to its network.
The hardfork is scheduled for the Chiado testnet at slot 15,171,584 on March 6th at 09:43:40 UTC. Deployment to the Gnosis Chain mainnet is anticipated in early April.
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.
