1 – Ethereum’s London Upgrade Expected in August
Ethereum’s London upgrade is set to get activated on the Ethereum mainnet. As per the blog, it will go live on the block height of 12 965 000, which is expected between August 3rd to 5th. As stated, the node operators would be required to upgrade their client version to get compatible with this.
Notably, these client releases are different from the previous ones that supported London on testnets. Moreover, these releases consist of different EIP upgrades in the London Hard Fork. However, the EIP-1559 proposal will modify the current transaction processing process. The London upgrade contains the following EIPs: EIP-1559, EIP-3198, EIP-3529, EIP-3541, and EIP-3554. More detailed information related to this upgrade can be found here.
