Ethereum Core Devs Delay Crucial 'Difficulty Bomb' for Two Months

Jun 13,2022
KingData News: Ethereum core developers met on Friday and decided to delay the handling of the “difficulty bomb”. Following the testnet merge and after discussing a number of bugs revealed by the test merge, developers proposal EIP-5133 to delay the difficulty bomb to August 2022. It has been delayed five times before. “In short, we agreed to the bomb delay,” tweeted lead developer Tim Beiko after the call on Friday. “We are aiming for a ~2 month delay and for the upgrade to go live in late June.” While Ethereum developers have not firmly committed to a date for the Ethereum merge, both Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and core developer Preston Van Loon have said August—”if everything goes to plan,” Van Loon said last month at a conference. “So, we will push back the Ethereum difficulty bomb,” tweeted Ben Edgington, another core developer, after Friday’s call. “We say it won't delay the Merge. I sincerely hope not.” The new EIP-5133 proposal still says the target is for The Merge to occur “before mid August 2022.” (Decrypt)
