Examples of Ethereum Network in a sentence
However, if less than a substantial majority of users and miners consent to the proposed modification, and the modification is nonetheless implemented by some users and miners and the modification is not compatible with the software prior to its modification, the consequence would be what is known as a “fork” (i.e., a “split”) of the Ethereum network (and the blockchain), with one version running the pre-modified software and the other running the modified software.
When a modification is introduced and a substantial majority of users and miners consent to the modification, the change is implemented and the Ethereum network remains uninterrupted.
The effect of such a “hard” fork would be the existence of two (or more) versions of the Ethereum network running in parallel, but with each version’s ether lacking interchangeability.
However, if such an event does occur, the Sponsor in its sole discretion may determine, in good faith, which peer-to-peer network, among a group of incompatible forks of the Ethereum network, is generally accepted as the Ethereum network and should therefore be considered the appropriate network for the Trust’s purposes.
