Phoenix hard-fork successfully activates on Ethereum Classic  - ETC coin

May 31, 2020

Phoenix marks the 3rd hard-fork completed within 1 year on the Ethereum Classic blockchain. The Atlantis, Agharta, and Phoenix hard-fork completed the ETC-ETH agenda making way for more valuable research and innovations to come.

Miners

The vast majority of the network hash is onboard Phoenix with a fraction of hash still on the old chain, but slowly decreasing as seen here.

Nodes

Major exchanges, wallets, infrastructure providers, and other services are updated for Phoenix. Of course, check your apps for updates and ensure the services you use are Phoenix updated.

Core-geth, OpenEthereum, and Multi-geth Phoenix releases are in sync, but Hyperledger Besu became out-of-sync during the activation. Since Besu is not currently used by any services and rather known individuals (devs), then this client’s issue is not negatively impacting the network.

Secure your nodes post Phoenix

We understand a lot of ETC consumers were dependant on the Parity Ethereum client. However, Parity Ethereum is no longer maintained by Parity Tech and moved onto a community-managed OpenEthereum project. Multi-geth is also now a community-managed project. As the Parity Ethereum client family and Multi-geth have no solidified Ethereum Classic support. You should consider migrating to Core-geth sometime after Phoenix to secure your nodes. Hyperledger Besu is a relatively new enterprise client for Ethereum Classic, but it has the support and hopefully back up and running very soon.

Congratulations to the Ethereum Classic community of developers, individuals, and ecosystem consumers who participated in this concensus-wide event. 3 hard forks within 1 year! My god you all are rock stars!
