# The Merge -- Client Settings
|
|
|
|
**Notice**: This document is a work-in-progress for researchers and implementers.
|
|
|
|
This document specifies configurable settings that clients must implement for the Merge.
|
|
|
|
### Override terminal total difficulty
|
|
|
|
To coordinate manual overrides to [`TERMINAL_TOTAL_DIFFICULTY`](./beacon-chain.md#Transition-settings) parameter, clients must provide `--terminal-total-difficulty-override` as a configurable setting. The value provided by this setting must take precedence over pre-configured `TERMINAL_TOTAL_DIFFICULTY` parameter.
|
|
|
|
Except under exceptional scenarios, this setting is expected to not be used. Sufficient warning to the user about this exceptional configurable setting should be provided.
|
|
|
|
### Override terminal block hash
|
|
|
|
To allow for transition coordination around a specific PoW block, clients must also provide `--terminal-block-hash-override` as a configurable setting.
|
|
The value provided by this setting takes precedence over the pre-configured `TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH` parameter.
|
|
|
|
Except under exceptional scenarios, this setting is expected to not be used. Sufficient warning to the user about this exceptional configurable setting should be provided.
