Protocol / Development
- Thanos hard-fork: ECIP-1099 is accepted which will halve the size and growth rate of the DAG. ECIP-1099 will require a hard-fork, code-named, Thanos. Both Hyperledger Besu and Core-geth support ECIP-1099 and upon successful testing, the Thanos hard-fork would occur at block 11,700,000.
Below are the currently supported clients:
- Hyperledger Besu 20.10.0-RC2 or later.
- Core-geth 1.11.16 or later.
The DAG modification will change the algorithm to be Etchash instead of Ethash.
