Ethereum Merge Is All Set To Release In September
As per the founder of Week in Eth news, Evan Van Ness, the much-awaited Ethereum's Merge is scheduled for September 19 alongside a variety of testnet launches.
Previously, he was the one who assumed that Ethereum would switch to the new update at the end of September. However, the update might be delivered with a slight delay or faster than expected, considering the decentralized nature of the updates on the network.
In the list of releases, users expect the arrival of Goerli/Prater clients on July 27 and 28, the Merge update on the Goerli testnet on August 11, and the Bellatrix update in early September that will switch the PoW off and make Ethereum ready for the Merge implementation on September 19.
In the history of Ethereum, the Merge is one of the most anticipated and important updates as it will change the course of the network's development and make a full transition to proof of stake, leaving the outdated proof-of-work algorithm behind.
This upgrade represents the connection of the existing execution layer of the blockchain with the new consensus layer, Beacon Chain. The new version of Ethereum will remove energy-intensive mining and make the network secure by using staked ETH.
The update will make the Ethereum environment friendly and will increase the network's security, scalability, and sustainability, as the 2021 Bullrun proved that ETH is not yet ready for mass adoption as it becomes unusable during high load periods. As a result, there the Layer 2 networks were growing as they let users use the network with lower fees.
