Next, a hard fork The rollout will follow this two-step process, each of which is implemented via hard fork. 1. **Step 1 - Instantiation:** The pox-4 contract and the majority of the Nakamoto code are shipped, but Nakamoto rules are inactive. This is so other aspects of the contract can be tested before layering on the complexity that comes with the testnet (and later mainnet) being dependent on it. Importantly, this phase also allows time for Signers to register without the network being dependent on them to sign blocks. -2. **Step 2 - Activation:** A process to make Nakamoto rules live begins on August 28.

In other words, ‘the switch is flipped’! This switch is scheduled to occur at Bitcoin Block #867867 (\~October 29th). It’s important to note the heaviest lift of any hard fork is historically the sync from genesis. With the two Nakamoto forks, one goal is not to require this, making the upgrade more akin to a push-button software update and much simpler for all node operators. @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ Nakamoto rules are the logic that makes Nakamoto different than the version befo ### Nakamoto Activation Sequence -
