Scroll to Roll Out OpenVM on Mainnet on June 25th
Scroll announced that it will upgrade its zkVM prover stack from OpenVM v1.4.1 to v1.6.0. According to the thread, the Sepolia upgrade was scheduled for June 18 at 07:00 UTC, while the mainnet upgrade is planned for June 25 at 07:00 UTC. The update is focused on security maintenance and soundness fixes, with no changes to the EVM, fees, contracts or user-facing interfaces.
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.
