The fruitful culmination of the last shadow fork flagged the preparation of the Ethereum network for relocating to a proof-of-stake agreement component.

Ethereum developers confirmed the successful completion of the prerequisites — shadow forks — required for the highly anticipated blockchain upgrade The Merge.

Shadow forks help developers stress test synchronization assumptions to ensure network safety during permanent upgrades. In light of The Merge, Ethereum developers implemented the first shadow fork on April 11, 2022.

Nearly six months in, Ethereum research and engineering company Nethermind confirmed that the transition in Mainnet-Shadowfork-13 — the last shadow fork — was successful, signaling the readiness of the network for migrating to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.
