⚠️PEPEPOW Mandatory Upgrade – Hoohash Hard Fork
The PEPEPOW network will perform a mandatory protocol upgrade introducing the new Proof-of-Work algorithm hoohash-pepew.
📅Hard Fork Schedule
Block Height: 4354200
Estimated Date: April 10, 2026
UTC Time: 18:00 – 19:00
Nodes running earlier versions will no longer synchronize with the network after this block height.
Required Software Version
All operators must upgrade to:
PePe-core v2.9.0.2
Release page:
https://github.com/MattF42/PePe-core/releases/tag/v2.9.0.2Masternode Operators
After upgrading and synchronizing your node, restart masternodes using:
./PEPEPOW-cli masternode start-all
Failure to restart may cause the masternode to expire and stop receiving rewards.
Miners
Mining will transition to the Hoohash algorithm. New mining software is available:
hoo_cpu
hoo_gpu
hoo_gpu_amd
hoo_cpu_arm
Download:
https://htn.foztor.net/Miners should switch to the new miner only after the fork activates.
Pool Operators
Mining pools must support the algorithm hoohash-pepew.
Reference implementations are available at:

🧪Testing on testnet before the mainnet activation is recommended.
