Remember what happened last month? A programmer froze ETH wallets — worth about $275 million– by mistake. Since then, Parity has been working on a way to unfreeze them.
To tackle the problem, Parity wants to change the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) protocol. This would be a virtual streamlining of the platform’s operation, freeing up blocked resources and preventing the situation from happening again. To implement the solution, it will require the “consent” of network maintainers.
