First-ever shadow fork happens on Ethereum
Marius van der Wijden, seasoned Ethereum researcher and developer, has unveiled that Ethereum’s PoW/PoS merge is being stress tested in a unique "shadow fork." The "shadow fork’s" configurations will be of crucial importance to the next phase of ETH’s progress, as it would dictate optimizations needed in the run up to the merge. Technically, "shadow fork" is authorized in parallel with the "regular" Ethereum mainnet and does not affect its operations in any meaningful manner.
