Ethereum Dev Finds Issue Ahead Of Shanghai's Shapella Upgrade
Other clients also reported the same issue. VanDerWijden said the team found that Go Ethereum (Geth) client nodes facing difficulty syncing with the Zhejiang testnet. advertisement “The last 4 and a half stressful hours of debugging culminated in this amazing bug fix. We got reports that geth nodes wouldn’t sync the Zhejiang devnet correctly. The issue was that if a block body was empty (no tx, no withdrawals) we wouldn’t initialize it correctly.” However, developers believe the problem can be fixed with a patch as it’s fairly easy to test. In addition, core developer Tim Beiko asserts an additional Hive test is proposed for ensuring the issue is resolved correctly.

The client releases for the upgrade and blog on the same will be announced early next week. Trending Stories ...
