We have now completed QuarkChain’s mainnet upgrade with EIP155 deployed on the mainnet.

Since the announcement and introduction of the EIP155 protocol, we have been internally and publicly testing the code with the help of community members.

Now we have improved the function and finally could complete the mainnet upgrade successfully. More users can soon use the mainnet functions more conveniently and prepare for access to more functions in the future.

The Effects of EIP155 Update

Easy use of QuarkChain mainnet network everywhere just like Ethereum, but with lower gas fees

By introducing the EIP 155 code support, the QuarkChain network will be compatible with various wallets such as Metamask, Ledger, and Trezor. Users can directly use the aforementioned wallets to implement DeFi and other applications on the QuarkChain mainnet.

Users only need to select the corresponding network, rather than switch the wallets, to use the QuarkChain network functions and can have a consistent user experience with the Ethereum network but enjoy lower gas fees.

Miner Upgrade Operation

Full node miners need to download the new version:

Miners using QPool do not need to upgrade.

In addition, all exchanges that support the mainnet will also gradually complete the upgrade in the near future. Suspension of deposits and withdrawals can happen, and the recovery time is subject to the announcement of each exchange.

We still welcome users to submit vulnerabilities to us and will be rewarded according to the level of contribution

Report vulnerabilities and bugs to email: developers@quarkchain.org, or make proposals on GitHub: https://github.com/QuarkChain/pyquarkchain/issues.

We will have our developers review and evaluate vulnerabilities. After determining the hazard level, we will reward the feedback and its inviters (if any).
