Ronin Saigon Testnet to Migrate to Ethereum on February 5th
Ronin Network confirmed that the Saigon testnet will migrate to the Ethereum network as part of the next protocol upgrade. The migration is scheduled via a hard fork at block 45,528,550. According to the announcement, all games and applications will continue operating normally during the transition. Builders are advised to review the full technical announcement for implementation details.
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.
