Altcoin News: ETH Hard Fork Is Expected on February 28, on the Block 7 280 000

February 25, 2019, by Marko Vidrih on ALTCOIN MAGAZINE

According to experts, the update of the Ethereum network will take place at block 7,280,000, approximately on February 28.

The date of the highly anticipated Ethereum hard fork is approaching. The originally scheduled date for February 25 has shifted by a few days.

The update will make significant improvements to Ethereum (EIP), which will affect several basic functions, such as specifications of the main protocols, client APIs and standards of contracts.

But that’s not all. Since in the past there have been several forks caused by confusion due to the previously canceled hard forks, the upcoming update will include the initial changes to Constantinople.

Another addition is called St. Petersburg and is planned for the same block as Constantinople.

Despite the existing problems, the Ethereum course has been growing quite well lately (until yesterday), which is probably due to the confirmation of a new hard forks date. At the time of this writing, ETH was estimated at $138.83 (-15.53%) with a trading volume of $6,118,019,864 in the last 24 hours.

Let us hope that this time there will be no delay and Ethereum will be further developed in order to fulfill all the planned achievements for this year.
