Ethereum Classic development teams are undergoing work in preparation for the Magneto network upgrade. Magneto will be inclusive of the Ethereum Berlin upgrade features. ETC dev teams met on ETC Call 17 to discuss the Magento upgrade and concluded to move the Magneto proposal described in ECIP-1103 to last-call status… ECIP-1103 has graduated last-call to accepted status and proceeding with the following schedule:

To ensure a success ful fork, we ask ETC consumers to upgrade their node software to a Magneto compatible version if they have not done so already. If you’re not operating nodes or services, but use ETC through other services, then check with that service to ensure they’re supporting the Magneto hard fork.

Ethereum Classic is undergoing a network upgrade code-named Magneto, and specified in ECIP-1103. Magneto is inclusive of the Ethereum Berlin upgrade which contains a series of EIPs optimizing gas and transactions which have implied security enhancements important for the network.

A hard fork is a change to the underlying Ethereum Classic protocol, creating new rules to improve the system. The protocol changes are activated at a specific block number. All Ethereum Classic clients need to upgrade, otherwise, they will be stuck on an incompatible chain following the old rules.
