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.
