Forkcast - Ethereum Network Upgrades

An experiment by the Protocol Support team to provide public-facing information about Ethereum network upgrades.

Live Site

Visit the deployed site at: https://forkcast.org

Overview

This is a standalone client-side application that provides public access to information about Ethereum network upgrades. It displays EIPs (Ethereum Improvement Proposals) in a user-friendly format, showing their inclusion status, impact on different stakeholders, and alignment with Ethereum's strategic goals.

Features

  • Network Upgrade Overview: View upcoming, scheduled, and completed Ethereum network upgrades
  • EIP Details: Detailed information about each EIP including:
    • Layman-friendly explanations
    • Inclusion stage (Proposed, Considered, Scheduled, Declined)
    • Impact on different stakeholders (developers, users, validators, etc.)
    • Alignment with Ethereum's North Star goals (Scale L1, Scale blobs, Improve UX)
    • Benefits, trade-offs, and timeline information

Contributing

If you see incorrect information about an EIP's impacts or benefits, content-only pull requests are very welcome. Structural changes or feature requests should open issues.

Development

# Install dependencies npm install # Start development server npm run dev # Build for production npm run build # Preview production build npm run preview

Technology Stack

  • React 19 - UI framework
  • TypeScript - Type safety
  • Vite - Build tool and dev server
  • React Router - Client-side routing
  • Tailwind CSS - Styling
  • ESLint - Code linting

Data Structure

The application uses a JSON file (src/data/eips.json) containing EIP information. Each EIP includes:

  • Basic metadata (ID, title, status, author, etc.)
  • Fork relationships (which network upgrades include this EIP)
  • Public-facing explanations and impact assessments
