Ethereum Merge broke ATH on @GoogleTrends

This is the most overlooked keyword of @ethereum in 2022 🔭

And you should not miss this watershed event🌊

Curious about the Merge?

A thread 🧵

#Ethereum #ETH 1/

2/ I will cover:
📍What is Ethereum Merge?
📍Why is it inevitable?
📍How will it affect Ethereum?
📍The edge⚔️

3/ Ethereum Merge broke ATH on @GoogleTrends

The keyword is getting eyeballs in Developed Countries👀

This seems to be overlooked in developing countries

4/ So what is Ethereum Merge?

Ethereum is now using the Proof-of-Work (PoS) consensus, exposing many drawbacks

After the Merge, Ethereum will use Proof-of-Stake (PoS) instead of PoW

5/ WHEN?
~Q2 2022

The road to Ethereum 2.0 is still long

L2s still have plenty of room to expand
#ETH #Etherum #Layer2

6/ Ethereum will MERGE with what?
➔ Beacon Chain is a PoS chain running separately w/ Ethereum. The chain is planned to merge w/ Ethereum

It went mainnet in Dec 2022 with impressive on-chain numbers
• Active validators >320k
• ETH Staked: >10M ETH
• APR: ~4.8%

7/ Why the Merge?

Ethereum needs a "once and for all" solution to solve the blockchain trilemma
(Decentralization, Security, Scalability)

PoS will solve all challenges while maintaining high-level security🚀

8/ Ethereum will turn into a new leaf after the Mege 🍀
• TPS from 30 TPS to 100k TPS
• Decreasing power consumption by 99.95%
• The Meger will not change the user experience
• Eliminating the exploit risks

👀Probably Nothing

9/ Ethereum Miners will be "UNEMPLOYED"
➔ Shifting to operate Ethereum PoS validators

How?
• At least 32 ETH to become a validator
• You can stake ETH on Beacon Chain for now

Note:
• The transaction will be irreversible
• Can't withdraw staked funds until the future update

10/ THE EDGE
Ethereum 2.0 will be a Bogeyman 👻 to other scaling solutions (Rollups, Sidechains, Plasma,...)

Ethereum-L2 bridges are unreliable as many exploits occurred (latest: $600M Ronin Hack)

Who needs them while Ethereum 2.0 can solve all the challenges?🤔

11/ Don't forget a longer version of the thread 🧵
