Everything seems to indicate that the Government of Venezuela would have made a clean slate with the petro.Users must update their wallets to be compatible with the new format.This may 11, the Government of Venezuela reported the reactivation and upgrade of the technological platform of the petro. The new system launch was accompanied by a realignment that included new interface and functions.However, in silence, was removed all the history of transactions performed in the alleged chain of blocks, a change that surprised by the unusual, especially when it comes to projects associated with a true blockchain, because that technology is proud of immutability as one of its most notable features.On the 5th of may, The National Superintendant of Criptoactivos and Related Activities (Sunacrip) announced the suspension of operations on the platform, petro due to maintenance work, but last Monday when it was reactivated, the operation, is observed in the explorer blocks, a new block of genesis, which is dated the same day that they closed the system.According to the glossary of terms of Breaking News, the block genesis is the name that is assigned to the first block created and verified in a blockchain. This block marks the birth of each criptomoneda. Starting from this definition, it is understood that, in silence, the Government of Venezuela would have created a new criptomoneda that has the same name, new interface and other features that have been disclosed.According to the ads, the entire platform is operational.

Is this a clean slate?
