According to the Arweave (AR) team, Arweave ’s hard fork will be activated at block # 812970 , estimated at 14:00 UTC on 17 Nov. Gate.io supports this upgrade and will suspend AR deposits and withdrawals during the process. Deposits and withdrawals will be resumed as soon as possible after this upgrade. AR trading will not be affected.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
This protocol upgrade includes a number of improvements, laying the groundwork for the switch to HDD-dominated mining in 2.6. After the fork, SPoRA solution candidates have to be "packed" such that they can be identified as part of a unique replica. Additionally, the protocol will now create some entropy on every mining attempt. Miners have to carry it on throughout the process, further strengthening the requirement to keep data close to the computation power.
