After the successful Constantinople upgrade, Ethereum's leading developers started discussing the question of who will coordinate further hardforks of the platform, and apparently came to a consensus that this task would be assigned to several people at once.
The discussion about the need to coordinate further actions regarding the upgrades was held at the last Ethereum developer video conference. Its need was brought about by the recent decision of Parity Technologies release manager Afri Shoedon to leave the community.
As the Ethereum Foundation Hudson Jameson Community Manager noted, the role of the hard forks coordinator will consist of deciding on tight dates for submitting proposals for improving the protocol (EIPs), their implementation and testing, and the final implementation of hard forks.
However, as the developers came with agreement, this role needs to be distributed among several people who will work together.
“Of course, in this respect they will not be any dictators, but it is they who will put forward proposals and ideas, ” Jameson said.
Hardfork Constantinople in the Ethereum network took place on Thursday, February 28. At the same time, the update of Petersburg was activated, the goal of which was to disable the EIP-1283 protocol, in which problems with the vulnerability of the Reentrancy type were identified. Because of them the network upgrade was postponed in January.
