To activate hard forks was chosen as the unit 7,080,000. According to estimates of the release Manager of Parity Afri Shedon, it will be produced in the period from 14 to 18 January.

The head of the Ethereum Foundation security Department, Martin Svende, noted that the new version of the go-ethereum client will contain a kind of" emergency switch " that will postpone the upgrade if something goes wrong.

Originally scheduled for November, the Constantinople hard fork contains a number of code changes and optimizations. In particular, they include the transfer for 18 months of the so-called "complexity bomb", contributing to timely upgrades, and also suggest reducing the reward for miners from 3 to 2 ETH for the extracted block.
