Core devs call wrapped up:
1) Mainnet shadow fork #9 scheduled for next week
2) Sepolia testnet TTD/merge completed
3) Goerli testnet TTD value to be decided on in consensus layer call next week or core dev call the week after
I thought that the next testnet would be in Goerli testnet.
What is Mainnet shadow fork #9? how many more will there be before the end of ethereum mining?
If there are several more of these Mainnet shadow forks, then the developers may not be in time until the 4th quarter.
Goerli is the next (and final) testnet to be merged (#3 item). Sepolia was merged this week (#2 item).
Pari is the developer working on the weekly mainnet shadow forks, the other devs work on other merge (and post-merge) items. Pari has not mentioned if he will be discontinuing the shadow forks.
