Mandatory Komodo Daemon Update

An open-source technology workshop backed by a community of validators, researchers, Komodo platform announced the mandatory update for Komodo Daemon before June 14, 2021. The Komodo development team has already activated changes to the Komodo code base

The upcoming hard fork will activate Komodo’s switch from Bitcoin notarizations to Litecoin notarizations for all blockchains using Komodo’s delayed Proof of Work (dPoW) network for 51% attack security. Make sure to update your Komodo daemon promptly to ensure users can continue to use wallets without service interruption.

HERE’S HOW TO UPDATE

—Navigate to your Komodo directory
—Make sure you don’t have any changes made to the source and reset it. This will ensure clean source and shouldn’t create issue while pulling the latest source in the next step
—Use master branch
—Clean the source directory
—Update the source. (If you’ve made any changes to the source code, this step may not pull the latest source. Please make sure you used the step above to eliminate this issue.)
—Compile the latest binary
—Verify the update

Look for the KMDversion in the output of the above call, which should display. This verifies your Komodo wallet daemon is updated to the latest version which has the required updates.
