Shido Network to Undergo Hard Fork in Q1
Shido Network prepares its first major chain upgrade of 2026, scheduled for the end of Q1. Version 3.5 introduces a core binary update with consensus module enhancements and support for parallel transaction execution alongside the voting process. The upgrade also migrates the state store to v3, improving data processing speed and pruning efficiency. The update is designed to enhance validator performance, increase operational efficiency under high load, and lay the foundation for full parallel execution and programmable block building in the upcoming 2026 releases.
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.
