Ethereum (ETH), the world’s largest platform for developing decentralized applications (dApps), is scheduled for a hard fork upgrade (or backwards incompatible update) in less than 12 hours from now. At the time Constantinople and St. Petersburg (two near-simultaneous hard fork upgrades for Ethereum) will be activated, Ethereum’s full-node operators or transaction validators will be required to update their client software to the latest version. The set of Ethereum network upgrades associated with Constantinople and St. Petersburg, which include important codebase modifications, are expected to be initiated at block number 7,280,000.
