Ethereum Blockchain Goes Green with Successful Merge Upgrade

The long-awaited “Merge” event has concluded, transforming Ethereum into a substantially better power-efficient blockchain and bringing the Ethereum group’s five-plus-year quest to a close. The exercise, which began at 2:45 a.m. E.S.T. and was televised live by a number of media sites, drew tens of thousands of people from across the globe to witness the seamless transition of the world’s second-largest blockchain to a proof of stake (PoS) consensus method.

The merging is the most important structural transformation for just about any blockchain in the era of cryptocurrencies and eliminates the mining idea, reducing Ethereum’s power consumption by more than 99.9 percent. During the occasion, Justin Drake, an Ethereum expert, stated, “The merging will lower global power use by 0.2%.”

As per one assessment, turning down Ethereum’s energy consumption is comparable to switching off the energy infrastructure of countries such as Finland, Chile, Austria, or Venezuela. In addition to altering how Eth crypto tokens are minted, the update also impacted how following transactions will be confirmed. Beneath Proof of Work protocol, the network’s operations were managed by miners vying to add them to the blockchain in exchange for ETH incentives.

The update has substituted miners with validators. Validators “stake” a minimum of 32 ETH to run validator software on the Ethereum platform. Validators will be tasked with maintaining data, processing trades, and adding fresh blocks to the blockchain in the future. This will ensure the security of Ethereum while compensating validators with additional ETH. The higher a validator wagers, the additional number of blocks they will be permitted to create, hence increasing their earnings.

Post-merge, it is anticipated that Ethereum’s $200 billion-plus network of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs), decentralized apps (DApps), as well as other ventures would be more safe and scalable. And during Merge public video stream, Vitalik Buterin, co-creator of Ethereum, stated, “Proof of stake sets the framework for scalability since it makes it trivial for us to add more activities.”

While the update did not solve the network’s consistently high fees and sluggish speeds, Buterin has claimed in the past that Ethereum would undergo a phase he termed “the surge, verge, purge, and splurge.” This encompasses “sharding” – an enhancement that will divide the blockchain into numerous segments to distribute the burden, hence resolving the network’s slow transaction speeds and high processing fees.

In the meantime, regardless of the fact that the merging had been a big subject in the cryptocurrency community for more than a year, Ethereum’s value remains unchanged after the merge as investors and speculators avoided risk out of concern of excessive volatility. In the previous twenty-four hours, the cryptocurrency’s price fell by 0.70% percent, to $1,588.
