Ethereum's next hard fork is officially on the test stage
Byzantium, the first part of Ethereum's upcoming Metropolis update, has been officially launched on the test network.
The hard bifurcation simulation was run yesterday in Ropsten, Ethereum's test environment, and is expected to work for a few weeks to detect and resolve problems before the bifurcation is implemented in Ethereum's main blockchain, currently the second most of the world by market capitalization.
The trial period will include an essay on the nine Ethereum enhancement protocols (EIPs) to be presented at the Byzantium hard bifurcation.
As CoinDesk has previously detailed, code updates will introduce changes to increase network functionality while minimizing potential exploits, and also to pave the way for new cryptography on the Ethereum platform.
Looking ahead, the tests are likely to take about three weeks, suggesting that the Byzantium hard bifurcation will take effect sometime around October 9. However, this depends on whether the test does not cause unforeseen problems.
At Ethereum's main developer meeting on September 8, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin said he expected the trial period to require around three to four weeks.
In response, developer Péter Szilágyi said the tests may take less time because "if something goes wrong ... it will go wrong quickly."
Ethereum developers are expected to announce a formal date for the hard bifurcation shortly, as long as everything works out according to plan.
