 ===== Chia Forks =====
+On this page, we'll list all the important forks of Chia. In some cases, these forks require action from farmers. Please read carefully to understand the impact on your farm.
 ==== Block 5.496.000 - Plot filter reduction ====
-On June 13th 2024 the plot filter hard fork will be activasted. Farmers not using Chia 2.1.0 or newer will not be able to farm!

-After the fork double the plots are eligible to find proofs. This means you'll submit double the partials to the pool. The pool will correct your difficulty, but in case you use a fixed difficulty: Please change your difficulty to a safe number, so it won't overload your farm after the fork.
+After the fork, twice as many plots will be eligible to find proofs, resulting in submitting twice as many partials to the pool. The pool will adjust your difficulty, but if you are using a fixed difficulty, please change it to a safe number to prevent overloading your farm after the fork.
