PANews reported on July 10 that the EOS Network Foundation stated 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. In order 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 be prepared for the upcoming hard fork in order to continue to participate in the EOS network. After the hard fork is activated, the EOS finalization time will be significantly reduced from several minutes to a few seconds.
