KillSwitch is a decentralized version check.
It is built in to the DNP, it reads a smart contract from the nodes database, if the version on your instance is lower than what is required in the smart contract at the time of hard fork, it will cause the outdated nodes to shut down until they’re upgraded to the version specified in the contract or a version higher than required.
We’ve built this to help hard forks go smoothly and prevent alternative chains caused by outdated nodes as we’ve seen in the past.
