• Ethereum Director of Developer Relations, Yaz
  Khoury, announced in a Twitter post about
  Ethereum Classic (ETC) activating the Atlantis
  hard fork. This has been possible due to the
  efforts of the team behind Ethereum Classic,
  which aims at improving the functionality and
  compatibility of the altcoin with Ethereum.

• Khoury congratulated the project with the
  development, and stated, Congratulations
  _at_eth_classic on the successful activation of the
  Atlantis Hardfork! Was one of the longest debates
  to reach consensus along with a lot of the
  immutability politics. Learned a lot about the
  beauty of decentralization and a distributed
  community.

• Ethereum Classic has enacted a system-wide
  software upgrade as part of a bid for increasing
  the interoperability with Ethereum, the
  blockchain that split in 2016 from its codebase.
  Dubbed Atlantis, the hard fork will require all
  software users to upgrade their clients to stay
  within the rules of the network. According to a
  press report released by Ethereum Classic Labs,

• the startup of Ethereum, 10 Ethereum Improvement
  Proposals (EIPs) were included in Atlantis to
  improve performance and stability and to add
  opcodes, precompiled contracts, zK-SNARKs, and
  enhanced security. Terry Culver, the CEO of
  Ethereum Classic Labs, commented as follows

• The hard fork clearly shows we are committed to
  compatibly and working with ethereum. What we
  would like to do is find ways to make the two
  chains support one another.
• Ethereum Classic is a public, blockchain-based,
  open-source distributed computing platform that
  features smart contractfunctionality.

• In June this year, the Ethereum Classic community
  announced that its Atlantis hard fork is in the
  testing stage. According to previous news
  reports, the update is scheduled for September
  this year. To bring about transparency in certain
  aspects of the upgrade, Ethereum Classic Labs had
  actively contributed to the Atlantis project by
  launching an Ether/ETC interoperability tool as
  part of the Metronome Validator Network software.

• As planned earlier, ETC has successfully
  performed the Atlantis hard fork in accordance
  with the previously estimated time- between 12
  and 13 September 2019- at a block height of
  8,772,000. As commented by ETC Labs in June to
  Coin telegraph, The community has had a number
  of meetings to discuss timing, scope, and
  involvement, and we have decided on the direction
  and timing of the Atlantis release.

• It was reported earlier in June that developers
  and contributors were considering to put the hard
  fork at block number 8.75 million, as they
  predicted that it would run on 15 September. But
  subsequently, Ethereum Classic Labs moved to
  increase the block number to have the projected
  update during the week when more involved parties
  would be present to discover and deal with any
  issues that may arise.

• This hard fork will improve security and will
  take the community concerns into account. It will
  be a no-rush update as it will ensure the
  compatibility of Ethereum Classic with Ethereum.
  This will simplify the interaction with sibling
  blockchains.

11

• Following its announcement about the hard fork,
  ETC has gained support from a wide array of
  industry players including OKEx, the Malta-based
  cryptocurrency exchange. The support of the
  exchanges was revealed on 10 September. There was
  also a warning that it will handle resume
  services and related technical issues after the
  ETC mainnet becomes stable. Recently, the
  cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex announced that
  it would also extend its support to Atlantis.
