At the end of February, the Ethereum developers deployed a hard fork on the pectra on a girl testnet. However, the deployment was far from without the incident. They were even on the border of a network break that was no longer coming. In the end, the situation seems to be resolved now.
- The Ethereum developers have put a hard fork on the tolets of testnet, but they approached the disaster with the problems of completing the network.
- After three weeks of difficulty, the dozen network was finally repaired, which allowed the deployment of a hard fork on the mainnet in April.
Ethereum developers under high voltage
Like all the hard forks, Pectra went through various Devnet and then tested Before it is deployed on the mainnet. This allows you to check that everything goes smoothly and faces errors, in the inspected testing environment.
However, deployment on the test tolets will be chaotic. Indeed and A problem -related problem By executing clients (EL) they prevented the network to complete.
The situation was such that some developers, such as Giulio Repuffo, the CTO client Erigon, considered the possibility that they simply broke the test Holeki.
“In the races I am 99.999 % sure we will end with abandoning (tolets). First we try to restore it, but I think it is too advanced at this stage. I think there could be another limit case. »»
Holesky saved!
After three weeks of failing to complete, it would seem that Developers have finally managed to repair tolets.
This was announced by Phil Ngo on the Social Network X. No more to abandon the tolets of the networkThis was finally corrected and was eventually able to finish. Although the process lasted almost 3 weeks, it is a victory for developers.
At the beginning of March Hard Fork has been deployed on Testnet Sepolia TestnetThis time without an incident. This could be activated on the mainnet in April, as developers assume.
