Greeting Metadians,

Just a little over a month ago we announced the implementation of technical updates related to the Berlin and London Hard Fork’s EIPs in our testnet and we are now happy to inform our community that those changes have been reflected in a predetermined block on the Metadium mainnet.

Hard Fork key details:

  • The fixed mainnet block number for this transition is: #51960000
  • The expected date of implementation is: 2022–11–07

Why a hard fork?

A hard fork is a permanent update to the blockchain network’s code that breaks compatibility with previous nodes. There are many benefits for doing a hard fork: it can solve security issues, provide upgrades to the performance of a blockchain network, and it also enhances the ecosystem of digital assets.

In the case of Metadium’s hard fork, it has the purpose of increasing the compatibility with EVM’s latest version and providing greater support for our growing ecosystem of partners and clients.

For reference, these are the updates applied to the Metadium mainnet:

Berlin Fork EIPs

  • EIP-2929: gas cost increases for state access opcodes
  • EIP-2315: simple subroutines for the EVM
  • EIP-2565: modexp precompile gas cost changes
  • EIP-2718: typed transaction envelope EIP-2930: access list transactions

London Fork EIPs

  • EIP-1559: Fee market change for ETH 1.0 chain
  • EIP-3198: BASEFEE opcode
  • EIP-3529: Reduction in refunds
  • EIP-3541: Reject new contracts starting with the 0xEF byte

If you want to get detailed information about Metadium’s mainnet hard fork, you can take a look at the code reflected on github.

안녕하세요. 메타디움 팀입니다.

지난 9월, 메타디움은 베를린 하드포크, 런던 하드포크 업데이트 내용을 테스트넷에 반영했습니다.

해당 개발 내용이 하기 일정으로 메인넷 하드포크에 적용될 예정입니다.

메타디움은 이번 하드포크를 통해 EVM 최신버전과의 호환성을 높이고, 파트너 및 고객 에코시스템이 성장해 나아가는데 적극 지원할 계획입니다.

[하드포크 안내]

하드포크 일정 : 2022년 11월 7일 (예정)

블록 번호 : #51,960,000

✓ 2022년 11월 6일 오후 5시 (KST) 경 업데이트 완료
