Ethereum Blockchain Migrates to Proof of Stake After Completion of The Merge
The Ethereum blockchain officially migrated to the proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism as the anticipated “Merge” finally occurred around block height 15,537,391 on September 15. The protocol’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin has described The Merge as “a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem.” ETH Merges on September 15 as Predicted After months of waiting and tension, The Merge — the Ethereum blockchain’s much-anticipated migration to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism — has happened. As some players in the space,....

Experts share their views on how the Merge would impact Ethereum’s scalability solutions in the form of layer-2 chains. Ethereum is just over a week away from officially moving to a proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain with the Merge slated for completion around Sept. 13–15. With the transition, Ethereum would abandon its current proof-of-work (PoW) chain, eliminating miners from the ecosystem. Ethereum is a vast ecosystem with thousands of decentralized applications and decentralized finance protocols working on top of it. Additionally, there are several layer-2 solutions, i.e., solutions....
The Ethereum proof-of-stake consensus mechanism will cut energy consumption by a massive 99.95% compared to the proof-of-work system. The Ethereum Merge has officially taken place, marking the full transition of the network to proof-of-stake (PoS). On Sept. 15 at 06:42:42 UTC at block 15537393, the long-awaited Merge saw the merging of the Ethereum Mainnet execution layer and the Beacon Chain’s consensus layer at the Terminal Total Difficulty of 58750000000000000000000, meaning the network will no longer rely on a proof-of-work consensus mechanism. The Ethereum Foundation said the Merge....
The Ethereum Merge is the upcoming transition from proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake system and the Merge is the most important part of the ETH 2.0 upgrade. The upgrade is concerned with the transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus. The upgrade as reported has been delayed until the end of 2022, with no firm date on […]
LDO price books a 45%+ monthly gain as the Ethereum network moves closer to completing its proof-of-stake upgrade. The upcoming Ethereum (ETH) Merge is one of the most talked about developments in the cryptocurrency ecosystem as the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap undergoes the difficult transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS). One protocol whose fate is largely tied to the successful completion of the Merge is Lido DAO (LDO), a liquid staking platform that allows users to tap into the value of their assets for use in decentralized finance and earn....
Merge is the currently awaited upgrade on the Ethereum blockchain. With the launch of Merge, the network is expected to migrate from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This would finally remove the mining process entirely from the Ethereum blockchain. Hence, transaction validation will solely depend on staking after the upgrade on the […]
