SafeMoon makes progress on V2 launch
SafeMoon’s V2 upgrade will improve the security on the network. The upgraded contract brings utility features like reducing tax by 80% for ecommerce and wallet transfers. For SafeMoon users, the net value of their holdings will remain the same.
John Karony, CEO of SafeMoon explained that the net holdings of users will be divided by a factor of 1000, and the overall value remains the same.
Transferring SafeMoon between two wallets is currently taxed at 10%, a drop by 80% makes it 2%. Users can migrate from V1 to V2 in two clicks, and a small amount of BNB to cover the transition fees.
Interestingly, SafeMoon recently announced that Chief Blockchain Officer Thomas Smith is now being replaced by a team. Karony shared details of the transition and revealed that the V2 upgrade is imminent, the handover process has started. There is no news of delay due to the transition.
The team has started a countdown and the upgrade is currently going through the final checks.
Thomas Smith told David Gokhstein of Gokhstein Media that he will support SafeMoon externally.
Still here though, what if I create uses for it externally ♀️ now is a great time to be excited
