Ethereum (ETH) developers have confirmed the success of the shadow fork — necessary for blockchain upgrades like The Merge to migrate to the mechanism. proof-of-stake
Shadow Fork lets developers test stress test synchronization. In order to secure the network during the permanent upgrade, in terms of The Merge, Ethereum developers first implemented a Shadow Fork on April 11, 2022.
Nearly six months in Ethereum Nethermind, a research and engineering firm. confirmed that changes in Mainnet-Shadowfork-13, the last Shadow Fork, has been a success. And it signals the readiness of the network to migrate to the mechanism. proof-of-stake
Transition in Mainnet-Shadowfork-13 (the last shadowfork before The Merge) was successful for all Nethermind nodes!

The test network will allow Ethereum developers to train nodes, deploying contracts, and test infrastructure. As a result, Shadow Fork allows developers to measure network upgrades before they occur.
To upgrade, the community needs to update the Ethereum client and run the execution layer and consensus layer together.
