Ethereum's merger plan has attracted much attention since it was proposed. Its goal is to switch the Ethereum network from the current Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This major upgrade was successfully completed on September 15, 2022, marking a new stage of development for the Ethereum network. After the merger, the Ethereum network not only significantly reduced energy consumption, but also improved the security and scalability of the network.

According to information from the authoritative source ethereum.org, the merger refers to the merger of the original Ethereum mainnet with a separate proof-of-stake blockchain (ie, the beacon chain) into one chain. In this process, Ethereum officially abandoned the proof-of-work mechanism and protected the security of the network by staking ether. The merger reduced Ethereum's energy consumption by about 99.95%, achieving the sustainability goal in Ethereum's vision. #德国政府转移比特币 #币安合约锦标赛 #Mt.Gox将启动偿还计划
