1/ As many of you are aware, Anton, who works with Andre, tweeted that they were “terminating” 25 projects. This was misunderstood. They are “terminating” their involvement, but handing over anything they run to the existing teams.

@ASusyRua @Jacktheoiler @Nick_SR5 @FantomFDN @austin_bbytes Hark fork wouldn’t necessarily lead to a new token. It’s a method of upgrading that would take some time (compared to a “soft fork”). Like how Ethereum can hard fork. Still the same Ethereum chain.
