Altair is right here. The merge is coming.
tl;dr
Altair Improve, October twenty seventh
Altair, the primary mainnet improve to the beacon chain, Scheduled for Epoch 74240 (October 27, 2021 10:56:23 UTC).
A refined however large benefit of Proof of Stake is the flexibility to exactly time upgrades (sorry Tim! Proof of Work is over rapidly 😉)
This improve brings gentle consumer help to core consensus, cleans up beacon state incentive accounting, fixes a number of points with validator incentives, and tightens punitive parameters. in accordance with EIP-2982.

And you’ll improve your node!
Merge interop specs and future improvement nets
of Merging interoperability specs Launched on Friday. This “metaspec” supplies a steady goal for engineers within the first wave of testing and devnets.
After a flurry of spec exercise over the previous few months, the Merge spec is sort of function full and the core logic steady. On this subsequent part, the engineer builds his Merge logic and assessments the software program with different groups in a short-lived devnet. Engineers overview present specs and supply dynamic suggestions on specs to enhance and/or repair points as they come up.
On the high of the listing is Merge Engine API It then prototypes and specifies varied variations of synchronization below the Merge paradigm.
Proof of Stake, which replaces Proof of Work, has been within the making for years and we’re simply as excited to see it in motion as you’re. Trying ahead to October🏺🚀
