Today, the Dencun update of Ethereum has been tested on the Goerli testnet.
The outcome was negative.
And it seems like we have a chain split! Client teams are looking into it, but it’s likely to a while to pin down + fix the issues. Keep an eye out for updates!

The negative outcome of the Dencun update on the Goerli testnet of Ethereum
The problem encountered with this test was a chain split.
According to what has been stated by some Ethereum developers, it will take some time to identify and resolve the issues that caused the split.
When a decentralized protocol is updated, there is a risk that not all nodes correctly receive the update. In these cases, there is a risk of generating two chains, one updated and one not.
In the specific case of last night’s Dencun test, participation on Goerli was low, and the chain did not finalize.
As expected, Goerli participation is low and the chain isn’t finalizing. This could be a combinat
