Nxt Is Now Live as Ardor Child Chain - Verify Your Balances

The Nxt child chain is now enabled on Ardor, marking a major milestone in the Nxt ecosystem's evolution. With the activation complete, users can now check their Nxt balances on the Ardor platform and verify that they match the balances from the final Nxt block. This confirms the successful migration of Nxt from its original standalone blockchain to a fully integrated Ardor child chain. The transition is finalized through a mainnet hard fork at block 4,333,333, which happened on February 1, 2026. In addition to completing the Nxt migration, this hard fork enables Atomic Transaction Chains on mainnet, a powerful new feature already live on testnet. Users are encouraged to verify their balances and explore the benefits of Nxt as a new Ardor child chain.
