Booked for September 25, the Velocity Hardfork will be actualized barely multi month from now pending on a vote of endorsement by a super-greater part of the stage's observers.

The new 30-area report distributed by the Steemit Blockchain Team features vital changes being made to Steem's Bandwith framework, client account highlights, curation framework, witness conventions, and substantially more.

While the present observer refresh task will stay useful, the new observer parameters being added to the stage will serve to give added security advantages to observers.

"Witnesses will have two new observer parameters to submit. The account_subsidy_daily_rate will control the measure of marked down record creation tokens that are added to the worldwide pool every day. The account_subsidy_pool_cap will control the most extreme number of marked down record creation tokens permitted in the pool. These qualities will be submitted by means of the new witness_set_properties."
