1、BCHN node will inherit the original name of BCH and the k-line and trading pairs. This may cause a large fluctuation due to the influence of market sentiment when the hard fork occurs. Please make corresponding precautions for risk control in advance.
2、After the hard fork is completed, HTX will take BCH snapshots of the user's accounts and airdrop the new token to users. HTX will also assess to open corresponding trading pairs in line with the opinions of the community.
