In substance, Interstellar brings the VeChainThor virtual machine up to Ethereum’s level. Eleven Ethereum improvement proposals from the Cancun, Prague and Osaka upgrades are adopted in a single fork: EIP-1153, EIP-5656, EIP-6780, EIP-7939, EIP-2537, EIP-7951, EIP-7823, EIP-7883, EIP-2935, EIP-7825 and EIP-7934. A hardfork is a protocol change that is not backwards compatible: nodes running old software treat the new blocks as invalid and drop out of consensus. What Interstellar expressly does not touch is set out in the VeChain team’s official announcement: there is no token migration, no swap, no new contract addresses, no change to the $VET supply, to…
