Introduction: The 10 principles in this presentation are related to our coordination strategies, therefore our individual and collective future development. To guarantee the benefits of trust minimization, immutability, property rights, freedom of contract, wide adoption, and social scalability of their networks globally, blockchain communities need to make sure they comply with these principles when implementing future changes.

You can find a recap of this call here: https://medium.com/@TokenHash/ethereum-classic-etc-ecip-1054-atlantis-hard-fork-call-recap-a91e796d7a8b Agenda: 1. Current situation: ECIP-1054 named “Atlantis” has undergone developer technical discussion and is ready for wider community discussion with node operators, miners, and the rest of network participants and users. 2. Goals: The goals for Atlantis are: - To make ETC compatible with the Ethereum Foundation hard forks named “Spurious Dragon” and “Byzantium”. - Deploy on block 1,039,000 on Kotti — early August 2019. - Deploy on block 4,723,000 on Morden — early August 2019. - Deploy on block 8,750,000 on ETC mainnet — mid-September 2019. - To gain node operator and miner consensus in these goals and deployment dates. - To revise these goals and deployment dates ASAP in case there are objections or disagreements. 3. Description: ECIP-1054 Atlantis includes the following changes and additions: - Spurious Dragon state-trie clearing. - Spurious Dragon contract-code size limit. - Byzantium EVM opcodes, namely REVERT, RETURNDATASIZE, RETURNDATACOPY, and STATICCALL. - Byzantium EVM precompiled contracts, namely addition and scalar multiplication on the elliptic curve alt_bn128, optimal ate pairing check on the elliptic curve alt_bn128, and BIGINT modular exponentiation. - Replacing the intermediate state root field in transaction receipts with the contract return status. - Change difficulty adjustment to target mean block time including uncle. 4. Invite creators to describe their proposal: Developers invited to describe the changes are: - Isaac Ardis @ isaac - @ Soc1c - Wei Tang @ Sorpaas - Other devs who participated 5. Open discussion: After developer comments, ECIP-1054 Atlantis is open for discussion.
