Crypto Events Of September

We’ve prepared a brief summary of the most fascinating crypto-events that are to happen this September. Check them out to be prepared for changes!

Production Mainnet will be a relaunch (hard fork) that will be very similar to the soft Mainnet, but with some of the “safety-catch” removed. Here are some extra features to expect:

• The Ethereum bridge relayer is to be operated autonomously, meaning BLZ/BNT swaps will happen constantly 24/7 instead of only with human mediation (which is the case for Phase 1);
• More elegant versions of the mobile wallet app in place will be introduced;
• Updated and tested versions of other client libraries are about to be ready for public use (vs Phase 1 which will only have official JS support).

The freshest live plan presents the following key milestones:

• 24th Aug — Verify opting date (this will coincide with a launch marketing plan);
• 15th Sep — Code freeze, VI launch;
• 7th Sep — Opting Opens;
• 3rd-16th Dec — Snapshot range;
• 17th Dec — MainNet Launch.

The reward for each mined block is currently CLO 216. After reduction, the block reward will be lessened to CLO 129.

Callisto also issued a roadmap for Q3 2020, which includes:

• Wallet UI update to maintain secret txs;
• Explorer UI update to maintain secret txs;
• Explorer UI update to maintain secret txs;
• New website.

Groestcoin has also placed its roadmap. Here are the milestones:

• Groestlcoin Core 2.20.1;
• Electrum-GRS 4.0.2;
• GRSPay Payjoin (P2EP) support;
• GRSPay Payjoin (P2EP) support fortestnet;
• C-lightning 0.9.0;
• Groestlcoin Spark 0.2.16;
• Groestlcoin Shocknet;
• Groestlcoin Extended Public Key Converter.

The Ardor 2.3.2 release is registered for August 11, 2020 — this will be an essential upgrade for all of the mainnet nodes. The upgrade must be fulfilled before the planned hard fork block scheduled for September 22, 2020.

The halving is estimated to happen on September 23, 2020. Up to now, there are approximately 6600 blocks remaining. Block Reward now is XZC 14.0. The post-halving block reward will be reduced to XZC 7.0.

The reward will be reduced from 2 to 1 LSK at block 13451520.

Binance Smart Chain mainnet will be active in Q3 which will unfasten the potential of creating smart contracts and more profit for the current and upcoming tokens on the Binance Chain ecosystem.

With the crypto markets finally bursting above the 3-year downtrend, confidence in cryptocurrency is returning. Now LiteCoin developers have a chance to go back through the code and clean things up, re-evaluate arrangements made, etc. It will really pay off in terms of code quality, expectedly allowing for a smooth first testnet launch at the end of September.

XRPL Labs expects to issue the 0.7.0 beta version in late Q3 of this year, and Xumm 1.0, the first non-beta version of the mobile app, in early Q4. The company also shares what’s in store for Xumm next year.

In the near quarter, the company says it plans to work on the following:

• Internal development trial;
• Testing schemes for Xumm;
• App translation portal to the Xumm developer console;
• Bug fixes.

As you see this September is bringing us a lot of events and long-awaited updates. We will keep an eye on the projects and hope for their success.
