March 31 - Account Minimum Balance in Effect for Flow

Announcements Breaking Changes
2

As previously noted, the spork planned for March 31 was to contain and enable the storage balance requirements and transaction fees. A few updates on this are below:

  1. We have decided to adjust this MainNet spork date to now be on Wednesday April 7th, 2021 (1 week later than originally planned).
  2. This spork will ONLY include storage balance requirements and will NOT include the enabling of transaction fees. We will advise when these are being turned on at a later date.
  3. You should expect to receive the funds paying this min. account balance from account: 47fd53250cc3982f
  4. The funds are being sent via regular transactions on Wednesday April 7th during the spork, so the events will all be queryable by your existing infrastructure.

Also, an amendment to an earlier FAQ for clarity:

  • What happens if an account isn’t funded after the spork?
    • If the account is not funded after the spork, it will not be able to participate in any transactions, except transactions that add sufficient FLOW to the account.
    • An account needs at least 0.001 FLOW or at least 0.1 FLOW / MB times its storage used. Whichever is larger.

Please let us know if you have any questions on this.
