Ethereum’s third and final test environment network merge before the Ethereum blockchain moves from its Proof-of-Work consensus into Proof-of-Stake, has been successfully completed.

The Goerli testnet merge was the last of three public testnets to run through tests ahead of the mainnet Merge, which is expected to occur at the end of September. The two previous testnet merges, Ropsten and Sepolia, were largely successful as well.

Ethereum Merge opisuje trenutno združitev glavnega omrežja v omrežju s sistemom PoS Beacon Chain, s čimer se pripravijo temelji za prihodnje nadgradnje skaliranja, vključno z razdelitvijo. Ta poteza naj bi zmanjšala porabo energije Ethereuma za 99.95 %.

Odmik od PoW naj bi naredil omrežje cenejše, hitrejše in okolju prijaznejše, vendar pa bo tudi pomenil konec dohodka za rudarje Ethereum, ki so bili nagrajeni za varovanje omrežja.

In theory, to keep their activities intact and avoid the obsolescence of millions of dollars worth of mining hardware, miners are looking to back an Ethereum fork called EthereumPOW.
