What Does The Cobra Client Do?

Cobra stated in the announcement that Cobra clients will neither be adopting the canonical transaction ordering nor the Opcode activation proposed by the two teams of developers. Instead, the software will implement replay protection which will prevent attackers from entering the same transactions on multiple blockchain forks.

Unlike the proposition made by Bitcoin unlimited to have miners vote on the changes to adopt, the new software will stop the addition of new features or upgrades. Cobra explained that his solution is justified since a consensus on the issue seems impossible.
