Hence, this very fact puts the platform in a good position. They further stated that they will continue the coordination of the upcoming hard-fork with stakeholders besides the ETC community.
Software update provided to services utilizing Ethereum Classic node
The development team directed miners, exchanges, and other services that use Ethereum Classic node software to update the Core-Geth or Hyperledger Besu software. The previous software Parity Ethereum and Multi-geth have now moved to the Open Ethereum project.
Further details of the new software were provided. The ETC Core team will directly maintain the Core-Geth software, whereas ETC Coop will maintain the Hyperledger Besu. Additionally, Core-Geth is a new fork of the Foundation’s Go Ethereum client to offer better security. And Hyperledger Besu is a brand new enterprise-grade Ethereum Classic client.
