The Ethereum blockchain is all set to make its highly anticipated transition from its current proof-of-work (PoW) mining consensus to proof-of-stake (PoS). The Merge date is officially scheduled for Sept. 15–16 after the successful final Goerli testnet integration to the Beacon Chain on Aug. 11.

Ethereum is at the centre stage of the crypto community as it is scheduled to undergo a major upgrade to its protocol from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS), next month.

With The Merge, Ethereum will move towards a more sustainable, eco-friendly blockchain closer to its original vision, making it more energy efficient and faster, said Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex. «The Merge will complete Ethereum's transition to PoS, making it extremely energy efficient and convenient to make payments. That will only aid Ethereum's massive use cases, ultimately driving demand higher for the ETH token,» he added.
