On September 15th at 14:00, the world's second largest blockchain Ethereum "Merge" was completed, and the main network was combined with the PoS consensus layer beacon chain (Beacon chain). Merger has become one of the most important events in the history of encryption by the market. After the completion of the "merger", Ethereum has successfully "merged" from the proof-of-work to the equity certificate. The mechanism after the "merger" will bid farewell to the era of large-scale mining. Reporters from Beijing Youth Daily saw on the blockchain forum that many former blockchain "miners" were lamenting the end of an era. Will blockchain 'miners' who were once popular lose their jobs? What impact will this have on the global mining machinery industry chain?The merger will reduce energy consumption by 99.95%According to OKLink data, Ethereum, the world's most active blockchain network, triggered a merge mechanism at block height 15537393 and produced the first PoS block (height 15537394). Since then, the Ethereum consensus has officially transitioned from PoW to PoS mechanism, completing the "TheMerge" upgrade. This will bring significant changes to the Ethereum network, including a 99.95% reduction in energy consumption and a 90% reduction in ETH issuance. According to CoinMarketCap data, the real-time price of Ethereum is approximately $1590, with a price drop of approximately 1.11% within 24 hours. Afterwards, it regained the $1600 level and had a market value of over $190 billion.Merging new mechanisms to bid farewell to the era of large-scale mining machinery "mining"Ethereum is a public blockchain platform, with its cryptocurrency being Ethereum ETH. Under the traditional "proof-of-work" mechanism, in the past few years, a large number of "mine owners" have purchased high-performance graphics cards to dig ETH mines. For miners, if they mine on the Ethereum main network, after merging, each network will operate entirely based on the PoS proof of rights mechanism. At that time, the traditional proof-of-work mining will no longer be available on the Ethereum network. Ethermine, the world's largest Ethereum ore pool, announced the termination of proof-of-work related services, and will no longer follow the proof-of-work bifurcation.Ethereum originally used the PoW (proof of work) proof-of-work mechanism, and the "miners" of the node competed for the packaging right according to the computing power and obtained the packaging reward. Nowadays, relying on the PoS (proof of stack) equity proof mechanism, Ethereum bid farewell to the era of large-scale mining machines "mining". Holders can "mine" by pledging Ethereum tokens (ETH), with a pledge threshold of 32 ETHs.Will the merger of Ethereum result in a significant unemployment of traditional blockchain miners?Will the merger of Ethereum result in a significant unemployment of traditional blockchain miners?MessariThe Merge 190 POW GPU Web3
