Am 2. September bucht ein Hardfork die ZIL-Guthaben von zehn Boersen um. Was du als ZIL-Halter jetzt pruefen musst und was danach offen bleibt.

• Zilliqa is undergoing a hardfork on September 2, 2026, to re-route ZIL balances from old wallets to new addresses on the Zilliqa EVM network, affecting ten exchanges.
• The hardfork is a response to a signing error in the Zilliqa Ledger app that led to the outflow of ZIL, and it aims to facilitate the migration of exchange-held assets.
