The Merge of Ethereum (ETH): Huobi Global says the platform will support hard forks
Cryptocurrency exchange Huobi Global informs its customers that the new assets would be supported if a hard fork from Ethereum (ETH) created two new blockchains. However, terms and conditions are set and the platform states that it does not sponsor such events.
Huobi accepts assets from potential Ethereum hard forks under certain conditions
The cryptocurrency exchange platform Huobi Global has responded to its users about a possible hard fork from Ethereum (ETH). While The Merge is expected on September 19th, some of the community is wondering about the possibility two blockchains that would emerge. This could happen if a subset of miners decides to continue producing blocks in the Proof-of-Work (PoW) chain.
In the event of a hard fork, where both chains would continue to operate, an investor would then have as many assets on one chain as on another as if they had been cloned.
While an Ethereum PoW is unlikely have any future After moving to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Huobi still maintained that the exchange would support hard fork assets. But they will have to meet certain requirements.
For example, players wishing to proceed with such an operation must report to Huobi Global prior to the hard fork. Also a new string should not be made absorb or be eliminated by the other. The two blockchains must also be very different, as in the case of Ethereum and Ethereum Classic (ETC) in particular.
All of these elements apply to ETH, but also to other assets that exist and may follow in the current blockchain.

interest in platforms
If such events occur, it is in the interests of the platforms of list created assets. We recently had the case with LUNA and LUNC after the terra ecosystem collapsed. When an exchange fails to recognize cryptocurrencies from a hard fork while its competitors do, its customers’ trust would get a hit.
However, Huobi Global discourages cases of hard forks without technical interesteven if she sides with the community:
“However, we do not promote forks without tangible innovation and improvement, and we reject any form of pre-mining behavior. This worthless behavior will cause community divergence, industry confusion, and user misunderstandings. »
Again, nothing is less certain about the future of a hypothetical PoW version of Ethereum post-merge. Most ecosystem players actually look to the future. Despite everything, these explanations will have the merit calm down a bit People raising concerns about potential failure when transitioning to proof-of-stake.

I shyly discovered the world of blockchain at the end of 2018 on my search for financial freedom. Initially investing moderately, it was only two years later that I dared to risk everything in the movement that was emerging at the time. In 2021 I will then dedicate myself to further training in order to acquire more knowledge and seriousness. As I often say, I still have a billion things to learn. And what I know, I want to share with you.
