Welcome to the July 2018 LBRY Development and Community update! In this post we’ll show you what we’ve been up to and review our progress for the month of July. We had a very busy month - new releases on the Protocol, new features in the LBRY app, project grants via the LBRY.fund, and wallet encryption progress are among the highlights.

### Blockchain - Hard Fork Success!
|
||||
LBRY went through a successful [hard fork on 7/9/18](https://lbry.io/news/hf1807). It was not until a few days after that we were able to confirm that consensus was maintained by miners after the upgrade. Exchanges and other services handled the update fairly well also, but we did run into a hiccup or two with some nodes needing to be re-indexed (which we provided instructions for in the blog post). There already is another [hard fork upgrade](https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd/pull/159) related to case sensitivity on claims/channels in the queue and we are determining the best timing to execute it.
|
||||
|
||||
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Our hard fork is complete! Claims now last 10 years instead of 1.5, meaning that you can count on finding the content you uploaded to LBRY now and years from now.

The next priorities for the Blockchain team include cleaning up the claimtrie code base in order to increase maintainability and to provide a smoother transition to upstream changes from Bitcoin. These changes include features like SegWit and HD Addresses which were enabled on later versions of Bitcoin. Segwit is especially important since it would allow us to run Lighting Network, which is a 2nd layer scaling solution for microtransactions and a perfect use case for data payments on the P2P network.
