Notable errors emerged during the testing phase of the “Sepolia” upgrade, which has a critical role in the path to the Ethereum (ETH) Shanghai upgrade.
Ethereum developer Tim Beiko, shared remarkable details about the Sepolia test processes. Beiko stated that they encountered a synchronization error during the stress tests performed on the network. It will not affect the upgrade, which is expected to take place on February 28. expressed.
According to the details, the system will allow users to withdraw money. stress test in phase 600k validators simulated but during this process Prysm And besu between sync error it happened. Proof of stake (PoS) While the client Prysm waits for a certain number of responses to complete the transactions, Besu, which acts as the protocol validator, fell below the required synchronization threshold due to the said response limitation.
at this point as a solution does not complete adequate response capacity, or “old” It is thought that disabling the synchronous error block in a way that does not break things can provide a function.
Researcher known for his affinity with the Ethereum developer team Christine Whoin the content on the subject, this question in the test network “can be resolved quickly” he stated.
As teams continue to investigate and test the issue the error in question Shanghai It is not expected to cause any delay on the way to the upgrade.
Developer Beiko made the following statements about the developments:
The challenge is that a nasty attack vector emerges: deploy a contract, populate the storage in a certain way, and when you redistribute the contract, the old storage is still there and open to exploitation by malicious users.
