Please note that in accordance with our Terms we are hereby giving notice of a change to the contracts of both Gold Standard (AUS) and Silver Standard (AGS) this day 10 November 2020. The Terms allow that we must give 2 months’ notice for any update to technology and therefore the change to the contracts will occur no sooner than 10 January 2021 and will occur on 13 January 2021 early in the morning.
The changes and reasons for the change to the contracts are, in summary:
- Removing the transfer fee code entirely. This not only removes the cost burden to users but also greatly simplifies the contract, ensuring it works efficiently in a swap pool, decentralised finance platform or similar.
- Upgrading the contract to Solidity version 6 to ensure the ongoing robustness of the contract, particularly as it interacts with Ethereum 2.
- General code improvements to reduce complexity and increase efficiency and hence reduction in Ethereum Gas fees.
The new contract will be deployed in the lead up to and in readiness for the scheduled date. On the scheduled date we will transfer the upgraded tokens to all existing wallet addresses. The transfer will commence early in the morning AEST of 13 January 2021 and it is highly recommended that holders do not transfer tokens 24 hours beforehand.
