The Ethereum (ETH) Merge is finally here: What’s next for you?

The Ethereum (ETH) Merge is finally here: What’s next for you?

The Ethereum network is about to get a lot more interesting. The impending Ethereum (ETH) Merge is a massive upgrade that will help the blockchain run efficiently while adding new features. And unlike last time, there’s no worrying about backward compatibility or frozen upgrades. Once the hard fork activates, it’s a clean break. But what […]

Ethereum transitions to Proof-of-Stake: Four reasons why it’s better than Proof-of-Work

When it comes to discussing blockchain and its associated algorithms, there are two primary types: Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Until today PoW is the most common algorithm used by blockchain networks. Ethereum, one of the most influential blockchain projects, will announce its “END GAME” on September 15 with the release of The Merge which […]

Ethereum blockchain to undergo major upgrade to cut energy use

A long-awaited software upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain aimed at slashing its huge energy consumption is expected this week, a move proponents say may widen the technology’s use and support the price of the ether token. The upgrade, known as the “Merge,” will mark a radical change to how transactions on the Ethereum blockchain occur […]

Google now displays a countdown clock on searching ‘Ethereum Merge’

Google has added a countdown clock displaying the number of hours left for Ethereum Merge to occur. The Merge is an event that aims to switch Ethereum’s network from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) algorithm. It is all set to change the working of the blockchain, with the aim to make the Ethereum blockchain […]

Ethereum to undergo Merge on September 19: What could go wrong?

The Ethereum network is undergoing a monumental change from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system known as Ethereum Merge. The merge as it is being called takes place on September 19. The expected result of this merge? Developers will have greater power to build compelling new decentralised apps (dapps) and end […]

Ethereum completes Bellatrix upgrade ahead of The Merge: Here’s what it means

Ethereum’s Merge is under implementation and has completed an important upgrade today called Bellatrix. ETH 2.0 or ‘The Merge’ upgrade focuses on bringing new token standards that are more secure. The Merge is a process where Ethereum’s network is switching from the Proof of Work (PoW) to the Proof of Stake (PoS) algorithm. It is […]

‘What happens to our GPUs?’: Indian crypto miners worried as Ethereum moves to Proof-of-Stake

Ethereum’s transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism has left Indian cryptocurrency miners worried. This is because all the GPUs that are being used to currently mine Ethereum will be useless as the Ethereum blockchain comes closer to The Merge. The Merge will come into full effect starting September 15, when Ethereum changes […]

How Ethereum’s Merge could fix NFT’s energy consumption issue

As Ethereum takes its final step towards The Merge, it will change the cryptocurrency consensus mechanism from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). This improvement could also be the solution to fix non-fungible-token’s (NFT) energy issues. In simple, the Ethereum network is all set to be 99 per cent less energy-intensive, shifting the power from the […]
