Qtum v27.1 hard fork has been activated, with a majority of the community accepting the update.

If you haven't updated yet, please see our github:

Only 1000 Qtum blocks left until the v27.1 hard fork activates. If you haven't updated, we've created a detailed guide here:

The Qtum v27.1 hardfork has over 63% community support, thank you for the confidence!

There's still about 3000 blocks until the hard fork takes effect, so if you haven't upgraded your nodes, please do so within the next few hours.

Just a side note for those of you wondering why this is important. The Qtum Team publishes open source updates, but we rely on community confidence to accept them. We don't have the ability to force exchanges, wallet providers, or node operators to accept them. If the community rejects the updates, effectively there will be 2 Qtum blockchains, just like what happened with Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.

If this scenario isn't possible on whatever chain you're interested in, it's likely that project is centralized.

Our website really needs a makeover, here's a peek at what it'll look like soon.

The trading of QTUM will not be affected during the network upgrade.

The network upgrade will not result in creation of new tokens.
