Ethereum: It’s showtime for last shadow fork

September 10, 2022 by Aishwarya shashikumar

A much-anticipated update concerns Ethereum [ETH] and its significant transition to the Proof-of-Stake [PoS] space. The entire community has been keeping track of all the events leading up to the same. A few in the sector were anticipating yet another delay, even though the majority appeared to be expecting a smooth changeover. The ETH community, on the other hand, decidedthe decision to walk the ramp with flying colors and disprove the rest that seems to think otherwise.

The developers of Ethereum (ETH) have announced that the prerequisite shadow forks necessary for the eagerly awaited blockchain upgrade known as The Merge have been completed successfully. Shadow forks assist programmers in stress testing synchronisation hypotheses to guarantee network security during ongoing upgrades. On 11 April 2022, Ethereum engineers implemented the first shadow fork in response to The Merge.

Nearly six months after the last shadow fork, Mainnet-Shadowfork-13, the Ethereum research and engineering firm Nethermind declared that the transition was successful, indicating that the network was prepared to switch to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus method.

Among other features, the testnet gave Ethereum developers the chance to practice running nodes, deploying contracts, and testing the infrastructure. Shadow forks, therefore, enable developers to assess the effects of network upgrades in advance. The community must update their Ethereum clients and execute the combination of an execution layer and consensus layer as part of the upgrade.

Alexander Höptner, the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange BitMEX, emphasised the importance of paying close attention during the Ethereum update to prevent service outages. Höptner remarked in a statement to the local media,

“You have to be just, let’s say, awake and see what happens. There’s a chance for high volatility. And so you have to make sure that your services are up and running. […] We don’t expect any major disruptions outside of volatility.”

The CEO went on to say that community support would be crucial to The Merge’s success.

The creator of the world’s second largest cryptocurrency, Vitalik Buterin, has once more acknowledged the Shiba Inu Community for its contributions to the development of the cryptocurrency in a series of tweets. He most recently provided a second update on Balvi in a series of tweets.

With the development of the coin, Buterin and the Shiba Inu community have cultivated a cordial relationship. Ryoshi, the developer of SHIB, gave Buterin 50% of the Shiba Inu supply at the time, or roughly 500 trillion tokens. Even the claim that Vitalik Buterin is one of the Shiba Inu breed’s original founders has been made by others.

At the tiem of writing, Ethereum was priced at $1,720.40 with a daily rise of 0.25% over the last 24 hours.
