Pirate Chain: Ironwood Hardfork Changes Network Consensus Rules - 03 Oct 2026
Pirate Chain executes a direct hardfork to the Ironwood upgrade on October 3, 2026, following a wallet-update deadline set for September 19. The transition changes the network's consensus rules, so nodes and wallets running outdated software will fall out of sync once the new rules activate. Holders who update their wallets before the deadline remain on the upgraded chain without further action.The practical effect is a split between updated and outdated clients at the fork height. Users who miss the September 19 wallet deadline risk operating on a stale chain, so completing the update before activation is the main action item for ARRR holders. Because consensus-rule changes can produce short-term price movement around the activation date, the hardfork is a bounded catalyst rather than an open-ended one. After the fork, network continuity depends on sufficient node adoption of the Ironwood software.📌 Newsletter | September 2026⚙️ Happy 8th birthday!⚙️ Meet Stashi: Our new unified harness!⚙️ Direct hardfork to Ironwood (Oct 3)⚙️ Lightwallet server gets Tor & I2P🔗 Follow the link in profile bio
