Ethereum’s Constantinople hard fork upgrade, which aims to make processing information more efficient by reducing mining rewards, is scheduled to be implemented by the end of October 9, 2018, Ethereum community member Eric Connor tweeted on September 14, 2018.
The New Upgrade
Finalized on August 31, Constantinople, the Ethereum network’s upcoming hard fork upgrade, will fork the Ropsten testnet sometime in the second week of October 2018.
The backward-incompatible update will involve the implementation of five distinct ethereum improvement proposals (EIPs) and will make permanent modifications to the ethereum’s existing codebase.
