Whive Protocol Version 22.2.2: Reinforcing Our Foundational Principles
As the Whive community continues to thrive and expand, our commitment to the original vision and design of the Whive Protocol remains steadfast. It is with this dedication to our core principles that we announce the forthcoming release of Version 22.2.2, a significant update that underscores our unwavering commitment to the protocol’s original intent and long-term sustainability.
Ensuring Alignment: A Necessary Adjustment
In the spirit of maintaining the integrity and original design of the Whive Protocol, we are implementing a vital correction to the consensus.nSubsidyHalvingInterval. This adjustment, from 1,000,000 to 210,000, is not a departure from our path but a realignment, ensuring that the first Whive halving event unfolds precisely as envisioned at block 210,000.
The Essence of the Update
This update is a reflection of our dedication to precision and adherence to the foundational tokenomics laid out in the Whive Protocol Green Paper. It is a testament to our commitment to the protocol’s health and the equitable distribution of rewards within our ecosystem. By reinstating the halving interval to its original design, we reaffirm our dedication to a sustainable and prosperous blockchain network.
