The developers of the Ethereum Classic project have provided the roadmap for the hard fork.  The road map is named Agharta.  The update mainly concentrates on setting the compatibility on the Ethereum Blockchain.

Ethereum Classic Tweeted:  “The goal of Agharta is achieving parity with the #Ethereum network by enabling outstanding Ethereum Foundation Constantinople & Petersburg protocol upgrades on #EthereumClassic.”

The upgrade will be including the ETH Constantinople features as well.  The fork is set to progress in phases.  The first phase will be started on November 13, 2019, when there will be the launch of Net Morden.  The main net fork will happen on January 15, 2019.  These dates are only tentative and might change according to information from developers.

The current market value of ETC/USD is $556 million.  The token has been changing hands at $4.33.  The token has been trying to break the $5 handle, and it has been trading in ranges.
