Ethereum Merge is a hotly anticipated and long-awaited upgrade.
The Merge represents the Ethereum network’s shift to proof-of-stake (PoS), its new system (also called a “consensus mechanism”) for authenticating crypto transactions. The reason the change from PoW to PoS is called “the Merge” is because the already running beacon chain will merge with the existing Ethereum mainnet chain.
On the other hand- The fork, commonly referred to as ETHPoW, will share the same transaction history as the main Ethereum network but start creating its own blocks. What does this mean to the market? Are we looking at more volatility?
