Ethereum largely passes first major test for proof of stake (via _vishalchawla)
Ethereum developers have successfully tested proof of stake on mainnet in what’s called a shadow fork.Yesterday, Ethereum developers carried out the first major test of the blockchain’s upcoming move to proof of stake.
Up until now developers had largely been testing out the big change on testnets, which are dedicated clones of the Ethereum blockchain designed for testing purposes. What was different yesterday was they carried out a test on a version of the actual mainnet, in order to try to see if the code worked on the real blockchain.
Since the developers did not want to actually carry out the change in full, they created what’s called a “shadow fork” to test it. This is an experimental exercise where some of the validator nodes split off from the main network and made the upgrade on their own. It did not affect the rest of the network.
“Shadow forks give us a more realistic environment to test in than launching new testnets, because existing testnets already have transactions happening organically on them, and a large state size and block history which put nodes under more stress than new testnets,” Tim Beiko, wThe event was designed to help the Ethereum developers prepare for"the merge" — an anticipated event when Ethereum changes its consensus algorithm from its proof of work to proof of stake.
