EVM Upgrade
In this update we will bring Rethereum EVM upto the version from the Ethereum Shangai update. Because of the EVM update reliance on the Merge fork and child forks thereon we have created our own forks to enable these EVM upgrades on our own chain, this fork will be known as Gaspar.
Testnet
In 1.13 we will enable a testnet on Rethereum with the above EVM upgrade enabled from the start, the testnet will be know as Krontos. The chain id will be 622301. This will be used to determine if the EVM Upgrade function correctly and a blockheight can be set to enable the fork on mainnet.
Complete Separation from Ethereum Codebase
Some of the remaining code used in Rethereum would pull from Ethereums github repositories. We have made significant changes for this to no longer be the case, this makes Rethereum code completely self contained.
Change Log:
