LBRY is preparing for a Hard Fork set on July 9. The codename is HF1807. The fork is going to prolong the validity of the claims: currently claims expire in 1.5 years, but after the fork the validity period will be 10 years. Moreover, existing and not expired claims will be extended automatically.
The fork will take effect at block 400155. Users running a full node or a mining pool need to upgrade to the latest version of lbycrd, i.e. version 0.12.2.0 and higher. The fork details can be found here. LBRY is a free, open and community-run digital marketplace with content ranging from Hollywood films to college lessons and streaming.
