## Introduction
This document describes the process of the Merge upgrade.
## Configuration
Warning: this configuration is not definitive.
| Name | Value |
| - | - |
| `MERGE_FORK_VERSION` | `Version('0x02000000')` |
| `MERGE_FORK_EPOCH` | `Epoch(18446744073709551615)` **TBD** |
## Fork to Merge
### Fork trigger
TBD. Social consensus, along with state conditions such as epoch boundary, finality, deposits, active validator count, etc. may be part of the decision process to trigger the fork. For now we assume the condition will be triggered at epoch `MERGE_FORK_EPOCH`.
Note that for the pure Merge networks, we don't apply `upgrade_to_merge` since it starts with Merge version logic.
### Upgrading the state
As with the Phase0-to-Altair upgrade, the `state_transition` is modified to upgrade the `BeaconState`.
The `BeaconState` upgrade runs as part of `process_slots`, slots with missing block proposals do not affect the upgrade time.
If `state.slot % SLOTS_PER_EPOCH == 0` and `compute_epoch_at_slot(state.slot) == MERGE_FORK_EPOCH`, an irregular state change is made to upgrade to Merge.
The upgrade occurs after the completion of the inner loop of `process_slots` that sets `state.slot` equal to `MERGE_FORK_EPOCH * SLOTS_PER_EPOCH`.
When multiple upgrades are scheduled for the same epoch (common for test-networks),
all the upgrades run in sequence before resuming the regular state transition.

def upgrade_to_merge(pre: altair.BeaconState) -> BeaconState:
epoch = altair.get_current_epoch(pre)
post = BeaconState(
