Node operators will be required to upgrade their client versions to be compatible with the London upgrade.
Part of the London upgrade are five Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) meant to simplify existing financial instruments and initiatives.
Following successful testnet, the London upgrade is now set for activation on the Ethereum mainnet. The upgrade is expected to be launched on block 12 965 000, between August 3rd and 5th, 2021.
Node operators will be required to upgrade their client versions to be compatible with the London upgrade. The clients include Nethermind, Erigon, Besu, and OpenEthereum among others. Certain clients, such as Besu and Nethermind, will be eligible for a bug bounty bonus.
Additionally, the operators are asked to note that initial versions supported London on testnets but not on mainnet. Developers further confirmed that teams are working to ensure that this transition is as seamless as possible.
