What is the Ethereum Ice Age?
The Ethereum Ice Age is the name given to the process of adjusting the network difficulty during the ether mining and the transaction verification. Without adjusting the difficulty, the network would "freeze" due to the constantly increasing difficulty and the block time. To avoid the Ice Age back in 2017, the first hard fork was created.
