When will the Ethereum hard fork be completed (When will Ethereum sharding be implemented)?

When will the Ethereum hard fork be completed? The Ethereum hard fork has been completed, with a block height of 840,000.

Based on the current block time (approximately 3 days), there have already been 6 clients and one node that have completed the upgrade, including Lighthouse, Nimbus, Teku, Prysm, and other networks.

According to the official website, this upgrade is designed for the mainnet’s “Constantinople” upgrade, which mainly includes the EIP-1559 proposal and the reduction of ETHGas prices. This update also made some changes to the merged system:

1. Switching the existing PoW chain to the PoS mechanism;

2. Switching the existing PoS chain to the DPoS mechanism. (Please refer to the official announcement for specific progress)

Previously, on September 16, 2019, the Ethereum developers discussed whether Ethereum’s Beacon Chain could be an important part of the Ethereum 2.0 upgrade. On September 17, community members stated that if there are no vulnerabilities or security issues found after the launch of the Ethereum testnet, they will consider redeploying the mainnet.

When will Ethereum sharding be implemented?

The earliest implementation of Ethereum sharding was in 2015, a few months after the launch of Ethereum 2.0. Since then, many blockchain projects have started to explore the application of sharding technology on the Ethereum network. Now, there are already many development teams researching sharding as a solution and gradually introducing their plans after the launch of their testnets and mainnets. When will sharding be implemented exactly?

Sharding is a new and decentralized “off-chain” state processing method that allows different types of data to synchronize and communicate with each other without any single node controlling the timestamp of each transaction (such as timestamps). It is a separate database that performs data analysis based on the information contained in the blocks. Since this data is independent and not controlled by multiple miners, it is difficult to calculate whether this information is accurate. So, without such a database, we would not have the current situation. The purpose of sharding is to make the entire system more efficient and reliable. The introduction of sharding technology allows us to no longer rely on a single hardware or CPU resource, thus meeting the security and performance requirements of each individual. Sharding technology also helps reduce costs and improve efficiency.
