UniChain will perform the hard fork to version 2 between October 20, 2021 and October 25, 2021 through the voting mechanism. UniChain has already contacted most of the current witnesses, the hard fork proposal will be broadcasted to the network on around October 20, 2021. If the proposal is accepted by most of the witnesses (⅔ witness agrees on the proposal), the network will switch to version 2. It is obligatory to all other nodes to update to a new version in order to keep the same chain. Nodes that run the old version will be separated from the network and may not sync from other nodes.
