If you haven’t heard yet, we have a mandatory hard fork scheduled for November 10th that will activate Cold Staking (CS) on Mainnet!

The past 4 weeks of development has been exclusively focused on getting the Particl GUI ready for CS except for a couple exceptions focused on backend Marketplace development. The big push on the GUI has been a coordinated effort — since we launched it on testnet — between our users, testers and developers.
