The difficulty bomb has now been delayed by roughly 100 days, as developers gear up for the second last dress rehearsal for the Merge.

The difficulty bomb is a mechanism put in place to gradually disincentivize Ether miners from Proof-of-Work mining on Ethereum ahead of the network’s eventual merge with the Proof-of-Stake -based Beacon Chain.

Pushing back the difficulty bomb was required as it would have slowed down new block creation so much that it would almost be impossible to introduce new network upgrades. Beiko also shared a post on Twitter from the Ethereum Foundation on June 30 announcing that the Sepolia testnet will do a dress rehearsal of the Merge over the next few days, marking the“After years of work to bring proof-of-stake to Ethereum, we are now well into the final testing stage: testnet deployments!”
