We’ve unlocked a big milestone in the Rootstock network with regard to a PowPeg composition change. This modification is set to become effective at block #5,568,002, scheduled for activation on Saturday, August 19, 2023 (estimated). What does this mean?👇 🔹 The Luxor Team joins as a new member of the PowPeg 🔹 The PowPeg setup for ConstataEu has been upgraded to support firmware attestation. One thing to consider is that the Bitcoin PowPeg Address is changing. Make sure to verify the deposit address before initiating any PowPeg peg-in transaction, this will ensure the safety of funds and mitigate any potential risks.
