Chainlink Protocol and Services Will not Support Forked Versions of Ethereum

Chainlink announced that its protocol and services will remain operational on the Ethereum blockchain during and after the Merge to the PoS consensus layer. Forked versions of the Ethereum blockchain, including PoW forks, will not be supported by the Chainlink protocol. This is aligned with both the Ethereum Foundation's and broader Ethereum community's decision, achieved via social consensus, to upgrade the Ethereum blockchain to PoS consensus. For Ethereum developers and dApp teams who are unsure of their migration strategy surrounding the Merge, it is recommended that smart contract operations are paused to avoid unforeseen incidents and help protect end users.
