$IOTX IoTeX to Undergo Hard Fork on June 19th

IoTeX has announced the v.2.2.0 upgrade for its Layer 1 blockchain, scheduled to activate at block 36,893,881—estimated to occur on June 19, at 01:28 UTC. The upgrade introduces two major improvements: block time is reduced from 5 seconds to 2.5 seconds, and System Staking v.3.0 replaces the deprecated v.2.0.

All node operators must upgrade to v.2.2.0 to maintain network compatibility. No configuration changes are needed—nodes simply require a restart with the updated image.
