Layer-1 blockchain Zilliqa said it plans to carry out its fourth exchange migration hard fork at block height 39,242,023, expected around 7:00 a.m. UTC on Oct. 30.

The upgrade will migrate ZIL balances on XT from legacy Schnorr addresses to verified Zilliqa EVM addresses, change validator reward distribution from every block to every epoch, and enable Pectra support to update EVM compatibility. It will also support the migration of existing deposited balances in Scilla staking contracts for Zilliqa 1 through the ZKP app, prepare the migration of some ZRC2 Scilla tokens to ERC20 on EVM, and revise EVM gas fee accounting.

Zilliqa said users do not need to take any separate action, while centralized exchanges have temporarily suspended ZIL deposits and withdrawals and may resume them once the hard fork is successfully implemented.

The IMF had also previously found that stock tokens are less liquid than traditional equities while exhibiting realized volatility 1.5 times higher.
