Ethernity Chain has been renamed to $Epic Chain, with a 1:1 token swap initiated. This change, supported by 97.1% of the $DAO community, signifies a new phase in the Layer 2 blockchain ecosystem, focusing on integrating real-world assets with entertainment. The $EPIC token will maintain $ERN's functions and expand into staking, trading, and governance. Future plans include an enhanced staking reward mechanism for users to earn rewards from other projects on the $Epic Chain.
