As with most of the previous network upgrades we have again set up a tracker & countdown for the upcoming Istanbul upgrade.

Compared to our previous versions this time we are able to provide a much more complete set of information all around the upgrade including:

  • An accurate countdown to the fork block (calculated using the average block time over the last 50000 blocks)
  • Live client status of 4 different Ethereum clients (geth, parity-ethereum, besu & nethermind), Infura and Etherscan
  • Upgrade ready clients seen on the Network during the last 24h (current & historical statistics)
  • Upgrade status of mining pools, infrastructure providers & exchanges

If you have any improvement suggestions please feel free to let us know, we are happy for any kind of feedback on the tracker.

Hey, I'm curious if you are also counting updated parity beta clients (2.6.5)? Stats appear to be only for stable (2.5.10). They are also Istanbul-ready, but admittedly it looks like very few people are using beta atm 😅

Yes we count both versions 2.5.10 and higher for the stable branch and 2.6.5 and higher for the beta branch.

Will there be a party in Istanbul?

An important metric here is % of hashing power that is ready for Istanbul.
Total % of upgraded clients is less important than that.
