NEM postpones release of new date for new symbols for February 2021

, NEM announced at a press conference on December 30 that the release date for the new 'Symbol (XYM)' channel has been postponed to February 2021, and that a special designed date should not be decided. At the same time, the date of the snapshot will soon be recognized by the vote, and the first release date and the date of the snapshot will be canceled on the same day. Officials say the new "Symbol (XYM)" string stress test of the test network has a number of serious issues that could pose a significant risk to the NEM backbone. There are still some unresolved issues so we need more time to try to fix them. The first January 2021 release date is too close and there is no guarantee that it will be released on time.
