The Ethereum Merge is the joining of Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) Beacon chain with the Ethereum Mainnet to transition the Ethereum blockchain off the legacy Proof-of-work (PoW) system. This will bring about a 99.95% decrease in Ethereum’s energy utilization, and the capacity to additional scale the Ethereum environment. It will bring about Ethereum 2.0, another adaptation of Ethereum. Currently, there are two independent blockchains for Ethereum operating in isolation. These are the current proof-of-work (POW) Ethereum chain and a separate proof-of-stake Beacon Chain.
