Pocket Network Scheduled the Shannon Mainnet Upgrade
Pocket Network scheduled the Shannon mainnet upgrade to v.0.1.33 for April 7th at about 13:00 UTC at block 703,870. The target height was revised from 705,180 to correct for block time drift, and validators were warned that the upgrade was consensus-breaking.
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.
