More Platforms are implementing Hard Forks to Fight ASICs

The months-long decrease in market values has done little to slow crypto development, and more than ever corporate and enterprise players are controlling Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining. The primary tool of these institutions is application specific integrated circuits (ASICs), the use of which is one of the most contentious issues in the crypto space. Platform teams are, for the most part, opposed to the use of these devices, and have now begun to resort to hard forks to prevent their proliferation.
