However, dates do not have strict deadlines, they only serve as an informal roadmap.
One of the project developers, superphiz.eth, He tweeted that dates should be treated as a “planning timeline,” adding that the community should still “watch out for official announcements.”
The September 19 proposal does not surprise many observers who expect a merge to occur before or after that period.
However, some people are still skeptical of the date and expect another delay. Twitter users ironically Mentioned A method that predicted no merger until 2050 without mentioning that year.
How to be careful @benjaminion_xyz It doesn’t mention the year. See you in 2050!

Meanwhile, the developer’s decision to postpone the Ethereum time bomb also cast doubt on the September date.
While discussing whether to delay the Ethereum time bomb, some developers demanded a strict deadline. However, Baiko opposed this, claiming that the team was already under great pressure.
Beiko previously stated that the Ethereum merger will occur between August and November, unless a major event prevents it.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the same thing. According to him, if all goes well, the merge will take place in August. However, it can also occur in September or October.
Ethereum Shadow Fork 9
The actual date of the merge has not been finalized, but other network upgrades are on schedule.
Ethereum Shadow fork 9 It’s been live recently.According to the Ethereum Foundation, DevOps engineer at Paris Tosh, developers are primarily Seporia hard fork With a “more centralized network”.
Shadow Fork 9 occurred earlier than expected on July 14. According to Paritosh, this is due to “slightly spiked hash rates and slightly faster processing speeds” and due to computational errors when developers estimate time.
Since Shadow Fork went live, it hasn’t had any glitches and is ready for Goerli testnet merge. Goerli will be the last testnet merge before Ethereum’s mainnet switches to the Proof of Stake consensus mechanism.
