We have upgraded our Ethereum nodes to the latest “Gray Glacier” fork in advance to make sure no issues are experienced with any of the Crypto APIs products.

The “Gray Glacier” network upgrade occurred at block 15,050,000 on June 30 with the goal to delay the network’s difficulty bomb, pushing it back by 700,000 blocks, or roughly 100 days.

The upgrade is an important part of the upcoming moving to ETH 2.0 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) when Ethereum’s execution layer will be merged with the Beacon Chain.
