Miners can implement a geth patch on their geth node to automatically follow the vote each week. While the node is running, just send the node an RPC request with either `miner_enableEgl` or `miner_disableEgl` to turn following EGL on or off (IPC functions also available). EGL is enabled by default if its configured when the node starts. {% embed url="" %}
