7 new assetchain parameters coming tomorrow.

Komodo's assetchains have always had a number of customizable parameters. These new parameters will be added to the Komodo code base, along with the Sapling upgrade and increased block sizes.

 

Please update your Agama to latest version 0.3.1d from our website.

If you have been using version 0.3.0, it is recommended to update to this version which comes with some bug fixes and latest Komodo binary. Download Agama version 0.3.1d from here - https://komodoplatform.com/komodo-wallets/. There are Installer version as default now and portable versions at alternative download page.
  • Keep using this version as this is sapling ready. Please don't use any version older than 0.3.0 as those are not sapling ready and send any tx using those version will not confirm on mainnet from 15th December.
  • If you have funds on any z address, please wait for further announcement after 20th December. You need to migrate your private funds to a sapling address. We will announce guides to do so and the required zmigrate dAPP.
  • Please save and keep your wallet.dat and private keys safely backed up to ensure your funds are safe before you update. With the hardfork there is not going to be any chainsplit, only one mainchain. If you keep using this version you will be on the main chain and your funds are safe as long as you are in control of your private key or wallet.dat file.
