#### Forks live on mainnet

The final stable specification for all forks that are currently live on mainnet are in the `master` branch.
The final stable specification for all forks that are currently live on mainnet are in the `mainnet` branch.

#### Fork under development

At any given time, there can only be one fork under active development. The branch structure for the fork under development is as follows:

- `forks/<FORK_NAME>`: The main branch for the fork under development. For example, `forks/prague` is the branch for the Prague fork. This branch will be merged into `master` after the fork has gone live on mainnet.
- `forks/<FORK_NAME>`: The main branch for the fork under development. For example, `forks/prague` is the branch for the Prague fork. This branch will be merged into `mainnet` after the fork has gone live on mainnet.
- `eips/<FORK_NAME>/<EIP_NUMBER>`: Branches for each EIP within the fork under development. For example, `eips/prague/eip-7702` is the branch for EIP-7702 for the Prague fork. This branch will be merged into `forks/prague` after the EIP has been confirmed for release in the fork.
