A proposal to impose a limit on Lidos maximum stake is currently being debated by its community. It has been suggested that Lido, by virtue of staking nearly a third...

The Ethereum Foundation's Preston Van Loon, Justin Drake, and Vitalik Buterin have given new estimates for the network's "Merge" to Proof-of-Stake, indicating it could take place in August. Ethereum Merge...

Ropsten, the main public testnet of the Ethereum network, will transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism in June, according to Terence Tsao, a software engineer developing Prysm’s production client for Ethereum 2.0.

Since the early ages of this industry, Ethereum has been the second-biggest cryptocurrency in market cap. This year, the long-awaited 'Merge' is coming. Also, early next year, sharding should enter the playing field. Big moves and changes ahead of Ethereum. What will this do with the Ethereum ecosystem? In a long...

Ethereum’s(ETH) transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism — the so-called Merge — will not happen in June as many have...

The Merge, a phase when the Ethereum mainnet will merge with Beacon Chain and transition from the Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism has experienced another setback. According to Ethereum developer Tim Beiko, The Merge will take place a “few months after” June.

The macroeconomic and geopolitical environment surrounding crypto and the whole global economy has had its impact on the price action of cryptocurrencies in general, with the war in Ukraine as the overarching geopolitical disaster moving energy and commodities prices to dangerously high levels. However, In the U.S., the Federal Reserve’s FOMC (Federal Open...

The Kiln testnet was launched on the 10:th of March, and developers have now successfully completed a transition from the proof-of-work consensus mechanism to the looming proof-of-stake mechanism that the real Ethereum mainnet will merge to sometime this year. With Kiln being the final testnet, there seem to be no major obstacles for the developers to get passed before...

Is there trouble in paradise? Ethereum’s team lead, Péter Szilágyi had something to say. The man’s one of the most prominent ETH advocates over at Twitter, but, he was feeling “extremely frustrated” in his latest thread. The protocol’s core developer also used keywords like “overload,” and phrases like “might not be willing/able to do forever.” What was Szilágyi complaining about? Complexity....

Ethereum has been on the journey to proof of stake for quite a while now. The journey has been characterized by delays which the founder has attributed to people's problems rather than technical problems but it is finally back on track. To properly test how the network would perform when the mainnet begins operating in proof of stake, there were a couple of...

When merge? This question is being asked with increased frequency and intensity as the developers of the Ethereum clients and testnets are getting closer to The Merge by the day. To this point, the testnet Kiln was launched just two days ago, and developers have now successfully completed a transition from the proof-of-work consensus mechanism to the looming proof-of-work mechanism that the real...

Around the middle of this year, Ethereum, the second-largest blockchain in terms of monetary value, and with hundreds of billions of dollars worth of assets depending on its operation, will transition from the Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm securing the system today, to the Proof-of-Stake system of tomorrow – a procedure described by many as changing the engine of an airplane while flying it. Ethereum...

The upcoming Ethereum merge will also be the triple halvening event as the issuance of Ether (ETH) will be reduced significantly and there's good news on the proposed switch from Proof of Work (POW) to Proof of Stake (POS) as the testnets report achieving significant milestones, ahead of the...

The ETH burning EIP1559 part of London hard-fork was deployed on the Ethereum mainnet on Aug 05. It makes the Ethereum supply dis-inflationary (reduces rate of inflation by offsetting new issuance through ETH burning) for now and will make it deflationary (net issuance becoming lesser than the supply being burned)...
