The Merge - Vitalik Buterin Tribute
A tribute to Vitalik Buterin and The Merge on Ethereum Mainnet commencing on September 14th, 2022
The Merge represents the joining of the existing execution layer of Ethereum (the Mainnet we use today) with its new proof-of-stake consensus layer, the Beacon Chain. It eliminates the need for energy-intensive mining and instead secures the network using staked ETH. A truly exciting step in realizing the Ethereum vision – more scalability, security, and sustainability.
