A complexity bomb is a mechanism that graduallyincreases the difficulty of creating new blocks. The Ethereum Roadmap states that the complexity bomb is another step in moving the network to proof-of-stake.
It is worth noting that most exchanges are still notsupports update. Two days ago, readiness for hard fork was announced by Binance, but exchanges like Coinbase, Bithumb, Bitfinex have not yet announced Muir Glacier support.
In addition, according to Ethernodes, at the moment, about 80% of the active nodes in the network are ready to work with Muir Glacier, and the nethermind client is still having difficulty upgrading.
