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?🤔
