Geth Developers Prepare Software to Launch Istanbul Hard Fork on Ethereum Test Nets

The Geth client developers this Thursday presented a Frozen Pyjack service update that will fix the launch dates of the upcoming Istanbul hard fork on the Ethereum testnets..

On the most demanded testnet Ropsten, the hard fork will be launched on October 2, on the Görli testnet on October 30, and on the Rinkeby network on November 13.

The Istanbul update for the Ethereum mainnet is being prepared in two phases. The first part provides for various protocol optimizations, and the second will allow implementing the Progressive Proof-of-Work or ProgPoW mining algorithm in the blockchain, which is designed to limit the advantages of specialized equipment for mining cryptocurrency over the public.

Last week, specialists from Ethereum Cat Herders presented the results of the ProgPoW audit, noting that the solution is effective, but may lose relevance along with the development of ASIC technology..

At the end of August, Ethereum developers announced the postponement of the previously indicated hard fork due to the unavailability of the Parity client.
