Hardfork Announcement: Transition to KarlsenHashV2 on Mainnet on 13.09.2024, at approximately 13:37 UTC ⛓We are excited to announce the upcoming hardfork on the Karlsen Network Mainnet,
introducing the world’s first FishHash implementation in Rust and Go with a 1bps DAG. This hardfork will transition our network from KarlsenHashV1 to KarlsenHashV2, incorporating the new FishHashPlus 🐟➕algorithm. After extensive development and testing, we are now prepared to implement this significant upgrade.
Hardfork Details:
- Block Height: The hardfork is
scheduled to occur at block height 26962009 on the DAAScore, which is estimated to be reached on September 13, 2024, at approximately 13:37 UTC. - New Hashing Algorithm: KarlsenHashV2 will utilize FishHashPlus, a highly secure algorithm inspired by Lolliedieb's FishHash whitepaper. This new algorithm is designed to be fully ASIC-resistant and move out FPGA hardware, fostering a more decentralized and equitable mining environment.
Node Update Requirement:
To ensure a smooth transition and continued participation in the network, all node operators must update their software to support KarlsenHashV2. We strongly recommend switching to the Rust node implementation for the following reasons: Performance, Scalability, Security.
