Ethereum network’s “missed block rate” spiked by around 1,700% following the Bellatrix upgrade

09/07 01:17

According to Decrypt, the Ethereum network’s “missed block rate” spiked by around 1,700% today following the Bellatrix upgrade. The “missed block rate” is the frequency with which the network fails to verify a block of transactions slated for validation. Whereas typically 0.5% of all blocks slated for validation on Ethereum fail to be validated on the first try, on Tuesday morning, more than 9% of all blocks experienced that issue. This may have to do with the preparedness of the network’s node operators. Multiple core developers of Ethereum’s network said that this morning’s spike in missed block rate could be traced to operators who had yet to perform this software upgrade. The nodes who have not yet updated will get inactivity leaked. In other words, the more node operators there are that haven’t updated their software yet, the more this will trigger missed blocks on the proof-of-stake chain.
