![]() ![]() There is no new coin from the hard fork, but a good chance to temporarily lose coins for staking wallets that did not update in time. While updated wallets made the hard fork automatically, users that don’t update in time saw their wallets disconnected from the main network, are not be able to make transactions, and (for staking wallets) may see their coins staked on a split chain, where they are difficult to recover. The hard fork will happen at block 845,000 on April 30, 2021, about 6:00 am GMT and only apply to the Qtum Core wallets Qtum-Qt and qtumd, no other wallets. TL DR The hard fork for Qtum version 0.20.2 added 32-second blocks and EVM updates. There were no updates required for other types of wallets (mobile wallets, hardware wallets, etc.) and no new coins were created. ![]() This hard fork added protocol and consensus changes to activate 32-second blocks and EVM updates was a mandatory update for the Qtum Core wallets Qtum-Qt (the GUI desktop wallet) and qtumd (the command-line server wallet). In this blog, we look at the Qtum mainnet hard fork at block 845,000 on April 30, 2021. Updated for version 0.20.2 hard fork on April 30, 2021.
