Polygon informed Cointelegraph that the difficult fork will certainly work at block 38,189,056, which will certainly be started without the impact of central stars.
Own this item of background
Ethereum layer-2 scaling option Polygon will certainly undertake a tough fork on Jan. 17 in order to attend to gas spikes as well as chain reconstructions concerns that has actually impacted individual experience on the Polygon proof-of-stake (POS) chain.
Polygon formally verified the difficult fork occasion in Jan. 12 a post, which followed weeks of initial conversation on Polygon Enhancement Proposition (PIP) online forum web page in late December.
📢 GET READY FOR THE HARDFORK 🔥
The proposed hardfork for the #Polygon PoS chain will make key upgrades to the network on Jan 17th.
This is good news for devs & users — & will make for better UX.

A Polygon speaker likewise gave Cointelegraph with added information of the difficult fork on Jan. 14:
” The difficult fork is coded for the Block >= 38,189,056. No streamlined, solitary star is mosting likely to start it. Validators of the network need to upgrade their nodes before the shown block, as well as they are currently doing so.”
87% of the 15 citizens of the Polygon Administration Group enacted support of enhancing the BaseFeeChangeDenominator feature from 8 to 16 to minimize gas cost spikes as well as to reduce the SprintLength feature from 64 blocks to 16 in order to take care of the chain reconstruction issue.
In resolving the gas spike concern, the Polygon Group described that since the base cost rate frequently “experiences rapid spikes” when on-chain task raises quickly, by enhancing the from 8 to 16, they think “the development contour can be squashed” as well as hence “smooth serious variations” in gas costs.

When it comes to the chain reconstruction issue, Polygon described that by reducing sprint size, purchase finality will certainly boost, permitting a solitary block manufacturer to include blocks continually at a regularity of 32 secs in contrast to the existing time of 128 secs.
” The adjustment will certainly not impact the overall time or variety of blocks a validator creates, so there will certainly be no adjustment in incentives generally,” they included.
Chain reconstruction takes place when a block is erased from the blockchain to include the brand-new, much longer chain to guarantee that all node drivers have the very same duplicate of the journal.
Nonetheless, the reconstruction has to continue as successfully as feasible as it raises the danger of a 51% assault.
The Polygon Group likewise verified that MATIC token owners as well as delegators will certainly not require to do something about it which applications will certainly not be impacted throughout the difficult fork.
The rate of Polygon’s token, MATIC is presently $0.977, up 13.6% because Polygon introduced the information on Jan. 12.
