Ethereum [ETH]: Bellatrix upgrade's success is in question, here's why
Ethereum just completed its Bellatrix upgrade, the last critical milestone ahead of its ETH 2.0 Merge. Developers have already claimed successful operations but it wasn’t entirely a smooth sail.
A big enough missed block rate would be symbolic of failure at the validator node level and would have a potentially catastrophic outcome. For example, it would erase some investors’ confidence and send ETH on a downward spiral. Number of offline validators did increase post-Bellatrix which is why we're probably seeing the increase in missed blocks. By missed blocks I mean slots where a block was not proposed by a validator. Not major but suggests some validators still need to upgrade their nodes.Most of the validators managed to stay online and upgraded accordingly. Developers were pleased with the outcome of the Bellatrix upgrade, although a small percentage did not manage to upgrade.
