Amber Hardfork Mainnet Deployment Last month we rolled out a major update to Kopli Testnet with the introduction of our Amber Hardfork, which brings some big changes to the network. Now after a successful deployment we're now ready to roll out the Amber Hardfork to Reactive Mainnet which will arrive tomorrow at block 902655 - approximately 9AM UTC Tuesday 20th May. To find out more about what will change with Amber and why it's needed let's take a quick recap: Why do we Need a Hardfork? Some of you may be familiar with a concept we've talked about for some time which we're now calling the Sequencer (previously referred to as the Relayer Network). The Sequencer is a component which acts as an oracle between Reactive Network and it's connected blockchains. Serving as a proxy which listens for on-chain events, packages them and relays them to relevant Reactive Smart Contracts. The Sequencer: 1️⃣ Enables new blockchain integrations to Reactive Network without the need for a hardfork. 2️⃣ Streamlines node operations and reduces overhead for developers. 3️⃣ Creates the foundation for future decentralization such as launching a full validator program. Allowing individual users to participate in securing the network. What does this mean for $REACT holders? REACT holders will be unaffected by this change so there's no need to take any action.
