According to reports, Ethereum is facing a new bug that leads to 54% of the network nodes split from the mainnet.
Recently the Ethereum team tried to change many things and are still doing the same to make Ethereum into Ethereum 2.0. But a new bug in Ethereum’s coding leads to a big problem and could possibly result in a big major issue for the Ethereum users.
According to the tweet by @GoEthereum, the old version of GETH is responsible for the split of the Ethereum network and around 54% of the network nodes split from the mainnet. And also through the tweet, they urged the validators to update the running old node to new one.
However a lead developer of Ethereum, Tim Beiko, confirmed that no fork is going on and everything’s still fine. And also most of the validators are running on the current node(new nodes).
But also he said that Flexpool, BTC.com, and Binance pools are mining on the old nodes, so they have updated the node to get out from the unsecured nodes.
Well at this time, no one user claimed to lose or double spend of his Ethereum transaction. But still the developers suggested to no to go through the new transactions because in this situation a transaction fund may get lost and also there is a huge chance that a double spend situation may occur.
At this time of writing this article, BTC.com updated their nodes and Binance is under the process.
