Developers on Ethereum have released fixes for recent finality concerns on the beacon chain
In light of recent beacon chain finality concerns, Ethereum developers have published upgrades for the Prysm and Teku clients.
Ethereum’s beacon chain has been experiencing finality concerns as of late, but engineers have published software upgrades to fix these problems and bring stability back to the network.
Ethereum clients Prysm and Teku now have access to the latest updates and may upgrade their software. “Client diversity allowed this to happen since not all client implementations were impacted by this out-of-the-ordinary situation.
The Ethereum Foundation said in a blog post shared on Twitter by Superphiz.eth, who calls himself an “Ethereum beacon chain community health consultant,” that “after all clients joined up, the network finalised again.”
“This seems to have been caused by a high load on certain of the layer’s consensus clients, which was triggered by an unusual situation,” the Ethereum Foundation said. The entire reason for the finality difficulties is currently being studied.Arnold Toh, a research expert at The Block, said, “The Ethereum community’s quick response is definitely a good sign for the blockchain’s future development.”
But the scale and end problems that still exist are a “stark warning that Ethereum’s beacon chain stays a work in progress.” Twice this week, the Ethereum beacon chain lost its finality for a little while.
The first incident delayed block completion for around 25 minutes, while the second one lasted for more than an hour. They urged that the group “learn from this experience and proceed with greater purpose,” calling it “one step on our diversity and decentralization journey.”
