Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is reminding node operators to upgrade their clients before the Bellatrix “hard fork,” slated for Sept. 6. The upgrade will prepare the Beacon Chain, the proof-of-stake chain, for the Merge. Lead developer Vitalik Buterin announced that the Bellatrix upgrade will be followed by the official Merge slated between Sept.13-15 in an event called the “Paris Upgrade”. The merge will be triggered when Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD) reaches 58750000000000000000000.
