According to PANews, the EOS Network Foundation announced in its official blog that Spring 1.0 and the Savanna consensus algorithm will be the most important upgrades to EOS since the launch of the network. To ensure a smooth rollout and safe transition, the EOS Network Foundation is updating the release time and community testing guidelines. The stable version is scheduled to be released on September 4, 2024, and the hard fork or consensus upgrade is scheduled to be released on September 25, 2024.

All node operators must prepare for the upcoming hard fork in order to continue participating in the EOS network. Once the hard fork is activated, EOS finalization time will be significantly reduced from several minutes to just a few seconds.
