EOS has completed the Antelope Leap 3.1 consensus upgrade and the hard fork is now active
Officially, the EOS network completed the Antelope Leap 3.1 consensus upgrade at 21:00 on September 21st, and the hard fork is now active.
Earlier, EOS announced that EOSIO (the underlying code base of EOS) has been renamed to a new brand name, Antelope, and a collaboration between four Antelope based blockchains (EOS, Telos, WAX, and UX Network) to create a shared underlying code base to accelerate the development of the core protocol. Launch Leap 3.1, the first community-run version. There will be no new tokens, no airdrops, and no action by stakeholders other than BP.
The Antelope Leap 3.1 consensus update is an important event in accelerating the decentralization and open sourcing process of EOS, marking the evolution of the EOS ecosystem as an independent entity. As the underlying codebase of EOS, Antelope will further support EVM compatibility and cross-chain communication between all Antelope chains (with no trusted credentials) to help developers build fast and secure next-generation decentralized applications (dapps) and Web3 services.
