Nervos Network to Undergo Meepo Hard Fork on July 1st
Nervos Network has announced that the Meepo Hard Fork will be activated at epoch 12,293, estimated to occur on July 1st. To ensure uninterrupted synchronization, users must upgrade their Neuron wallets: full node users should update to version v.0.201.0 or later, while light clients must use v.0.202.0 or later. This upgrade is essential for continued network compatibility and participation post-fork.
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.
