Zilliqa: Fourth Hard Fork Set for 30 October

Zilliqa will execute its fourth exchange migration hard fork at block height 39,242,023, expected around 07:00 UTC on 30 October 2026. The upgrade migrates @XTexchange ZIL balances from legacy Schnorr addresses to verified Zilliqa EVM addresses, shifts validator rewards to epoch-based distribution, activates Pectra support for improved EVM compatibility, enables legacy Scilla staking migration via the ZKP app, prepares selected ZRC2 tokens for ERC20 conversion, and corrects EVM gas-fee accounting.

Centralised exchanges may pause ZIL deposits and withdrawals during the rollout. No user action is required. The third hard fork successfully migrated balances for @BithumbOfficial, @UpholdInc, @Bybit_Official, @ParibuCom and @cex_io, with those platforms plus @binance, @bitvavocom, @HTX_Global, @MEXC, @LBank_Exchange and @BitkubOfficial now live on Zilliqa EVM.

Price action on the 4h chart shows ZIL holding a bullish trend structure with the EMA50 and EMA200 both at $0.0 acting as layered support. Momentum remains balanced at RSI 54.19 while the MACD registers a bullish golden cross at 0.0. Trading inside the Bollinger Bands places the next volatility test at the upper band resistance of $0.0, with any rejection likely to draw price back toward the $0.0 EMA50 confluence before continuation.
