Ethereum's third and final public testnet, Goerli, successfully moved to proof-of-stake from proof-of-work yesterday, bringing the Merge one step closer. We explain what the Merge is and why it's such a big deal:
with Ethereum-based software systems provider Nethermind and Hyperledger Besu, a Java-based open-source Ethereum client.
Overall, nine successful mainnet shadow forks from April through July 2022 have made Ethereum developers optimistic the real Merge might finally be around the corner.What happens after the Merge? In essence, the goal of the Merge is to expedite the process of moving from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. To accelerate the transition, developers are working on reducing the features that may cause delay and temporarily inhibit the ability to withdraw staked ETH once the Merge is finalized. However, these will likely be addressed in a post-Merge"cleanup" upgrade.
