Crypto Industry News:

The team behind Ethereum Classic activated a hard fork called Atlantis to improve altcoin functionality and compatibility with Ethereum.

The message was posted on Twitter by one of the ETC directors, Yaz Khoury. Khoury congratulated the project saying:

"Congratulations to @eth_classic on the successful activation of Atlantis Hardfork! It was one of the longest debates that led to consensus, along with a policy of immutability. I learned a lot about the beauty of decentralization and a dispersed community," he writes.

ETC successfully made the hard forks according to the previously estimated time - between September 12 and 13, 2019 - at block height 8,772,000.

"The community had a number of meetings to discuss the schedule, scope and commitment, and we decided the direction and time of Atlantis release," said ETC Labs in June.

This hard fork is designed to improve security while addressing community concerns. It is also considered a "rush-free update" that will ensure ETC compatibility with Ethereum, making it easier to work with fraternal Blockchains.

After the announcement of the planned fork, ETC received support from a number of industry players, including the OKEx cryptocurrency exchange. The exchanges revealed their support on September 10, also warning that they would deal with related technical issues and resume service once the ETC main network is stable.
