PANews reported on February 10 that according to the official announcement, Ethernity Chain (ERN) was officially renamed Epic Chain (EPIC) and launched a 1:1 token swap. The upgrade has passed the DAO community vote and received 97.1% support, marking the project's entry into a new stage of the Layer 2 blockchain ecosystem, focusing on integrating real-world assets (RWAs) with the entertainment sector to promote the long-term development of the ecosystem.

The EPIC token will inherit all the functions of ERN and expand to the Layer 2 ecosystem, including staking, trading, governance, etc. In addition, an enhanced staking reward mechanism will be launched in the future, allowing users to obtain token rewards from other projects issued on the Epic Chain.
