In the network bitcoin, the Segregated Witness protocol was fixed
On Tuesday, August 8, the bitcoin network hosted the Segregated Witness (SegWit) protocol, a scaling solution that will lay the foundation for a number of important improvements and accelerate the introduction of innovative solutions in the bitcoin network.
The fixation took place at block 479.708, but until the final activation of the decision there are still two weeks. This should happen after block 481.824 (approximately on August 21).
The delayed activation provided by developers gives bitcoin-services the necessary time to update their software in order to be able to support transactions of a new type.
