The July hard fork as a catalyst for growth

On March 3, 2022, we covered how PrimeXBT listed Monero.

The Monero network passed a community consensus to initiate a mainnet hard fork, which will occur at a height of 2,668,888, at a specified date on July 16 of 2022.

What this means is that the hard fork will initiate and will include upgrades, such as increasing the chain’s ring size from 11 to 16, as well as adding view tags to outputs as a means of reducing the wallet scanning time, alongside the introduction of bulletproofs and the implementation of fee changes.
