Ardor v2.5.3 发布：携手 NXT 成功硬分叉，共迎子链上线新纪元
Blockchain Game Portal: Ardor’s latest release, v2.5.3, is gaining strong visibility in Chinese media, following the successful NXT hard fork. This key milestone sets the stage for NXT’s transition into the Ardor ecosystem as a new child chain. Ardor v2.5.3 is a mandatory testnet upgrade, activating the NXT child chain at block 20,200,200. The update introduces the NXT mainnet snapshot, network stability improvements, and enhanced platform security. After an on-chain community vote, the NXT hard fork was confirmed. Expected on January 20, 2026, the NXT mainnet will stop forging and take its final snapshot. Approximately at the end of January 2026, the Nxt child chain will launch on Ardor mainnet. This migration revitalizes NXT’s 12-year legacy, bringing its fair distribution and pioneering pure PoS technology into a modern multichain environment with greater security and liquidity.

Nxt v1.13.1：标志性更新为12年历史的区块链项目写下新篇章
Blockchain Game Portal: The Nxt blockchain is approaching a mainnet hard fork on November 23 (block 5915915), as part of the network’s potential migration toward becoming an Ardor child chain. To ensure a smooth transition, forgers and node operators should upgrade to version 1.13.1 before the hard fork, regardless of whether they support the migration. This version will automatically follow the winning fork. Only those who oppose the migration may remain on version 1.12.3 or use version 1.13.0. This Chinese media article recently featured Nxt’s v1.13.1 release, highlighting its incredible journey and continued innovation over the years. Nxt remains a cornerstone of blockchain history, and its community now stands at a pivotal moment, shaping its next chapter.
