Ethereum upgrades often break live apps despite passing testnets, warns developer Greg Markou.

Greg Markou, co-founder of Sprinter and former maintainer of web3.js, warns that Ethereum upgrades can break many live applications even if they pass testnet trials. He cites the London hard fork in 2021, where an unnoticed MetaMask-related invariant caused widespread issues for apps relying on web3.js. Markou explains that testnets cannot replicate all real-world interactions on the mainnet, making some edge cases impossible to detect beforehand. This highlights the complexity of Ethereum's network and the challenges in safely deploying protocol changes.
