Next week or roughly four days later, a merger is expected to take effect and Ethereum will transition from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS). As Ethereum developers, programmers have successfully completed the 13th and final shadow fork before the Paris update.
The 13th and final shadow fork of Ethereum has been completed
On Friday, social media was abuzz with buzz about The Merge and Ethereum’s transition from PoW to PoS. Also ETH developers and Ethereum research and engineering company Nethermind revealed The last shadow fork is now complete. Basically, a shadow fork is an update applied to the current version of the Ethereum mainnet, and the public is generally unaware of its testing phase.
So far, in the last shadow fork, ETH developers have executed 13 successful shadow forks. “The transition in Mainnet-Shadow fork-13 (the last shadow fork before the merge) was successful for all Nethermind nodes,” Nethermind researchers said on Friday. Additionally, there is also a Shadownet Scanner, Shadownet Mainnet Browser, and Shadownet Beacon Chain Browser to help with testing.
Bitcoin.com reported on Bellatrix’s pre-merger update on September 6, which was the last pre-merger transaction before the Paris update. Paris will trigger the merge and after the last PoW block is produced, Ethereum Proof will issue the following block. If that block is successfully produced by the validator, the merge is 100% complete.
“MSF13 was merged earlier today, we’ve seen confirmation rate drop to -97%,” said an Ethereum developer. He wrote After the shadow fork. “This is because I forgot to check some old data on a node, because it thought the node was on the wrong shadow fork. No other client incompatibility issues were seen.”
With the successful completion of the shadow fork on Friday, it will signal that it is ready for the merger, and entities running the ETH software will have to upgrade. While some people respect the shadow fork, others They criticized. Ethereum and they call it “centralized”. Saturday, following the 13th shadow fork, was the test They discussed. Big deal on social media channels like Twitter and Reddit.
The sum will be 587500000000000000000. This is estimated to be on September 14, 2022, or about four days after this post is written.
