Will blockchain miners lose their jobs after Ethereum completes its "merger" and bid farewell to the era of large-scale mining?
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

After this' little spring ', there are still hidden concerns about Ethereum prices
Recently, Ethereum has completed its "Shanghai upgrade", with ETH breaking through the $2000 barrier. The surrounding ecosystem of Ethereum Layer-2 has also been hyped, especially after the Airborne drop of Orbitrum, a large amount of funds have poured into the Layer-2 track, which is exceptionally popular.In the past week, the number of transactions on the Ethereum main network was 7.296 million, while the total number of transactions on Layer-2 was 19.469 million, of which Orbitrum alone accounted for 10.405 million transactions, more than half. That is to say, the number of transactions on the L2 track is more than twice that of Ethereum, and the number of transactions for a project on the Arbitrum (10.405 million) is significantly higher than the number of transactions on the Ethereum main network (7.296 million).We know that Layer-2 is the ecological construction layer of Ethereum, and in the future, most of the ecology will migrate. Therefore, it is expected that the prosperity of L2 in the future will surpass that of Ethereum's main network. The ecological explosion of Layer-2 in the future can also be expected.However, after observing ETH's on chain data, it is believed that in terms of price alone, ETH still has some hidden concerns in the long termShort term ETH prices have little impact and remain a hot topic in the marketThe ecological explosion in Layer-2 has resulted in minimal gas consumption. In the past week, the destruction of Ethereum gas was 19818, while the destruction of Arbitrum was only 632, accounting for 3.2%.It should be noted that Arbitrum has been heavily hyped recently, with an on chain activity of 140% compared to Ethereum, but gas accounts for only 3.2%, and other Layer-2 public chains are even lower.It cannot be denied that the surge in ETH from 2020 to 2021 and the decrease in supply have had a significant impact. The ETH2.0 beacon chain has successively pledged over 10 million ETHs, and the EIP1559 agreement has destroyed over 3 million ETHs. After the official conversion of ETH to the POS mechanism in September 2022, the supply decreased by 90%, resulting in deflation since the launch of ETH2.0.All of the above have led to ETH's strength in the secondary market.Layer-2 is one of the future competition tracks and the core battlefield of the Ethereum ecosystem, but it is still mainly hyped, and in this case, gas only accounts for about 5% of the total ETH consumption. However, it is difficult for the ecosystem around Ethereum to grow explosively in a short period of time, as the core applications are still defi, NFT, stable currency, etc., with less demand.The current gas model of Ethereum is still the same as before the ETH2.0 upgrade. The next upgrade is the "Cancun Upgrade", which focuses on significantly reducing transaction fees. V God once said that when Ethereum matures, gas will decrease by 99%. Now, Ethereum processes over 1 million transactions per day. If we want to maintain gas consumption, the number of transactions will need to exceed 100 million.Weinao believes that this will take a relatively long time to achieve, soAfter the hype of "Little Spring" in 2023 is completed, there may still be some pressure on the prices in the ETH secondary market before the next bull market arrives.

Bankless: Ethereum upgrade for one week - withdrawal, verification node, LSD

Exit must first queue up.Unlike partial withdrawals of cumulative pledge rewards, this type of withdrawal is not automatic and the process is more time-consuming. Under the current network restrictions, queuing to exit can only process a maximum of 1800 full withdrawal requests per day.Exit queue25.2%Kraken(23%)CEXCoinbaseLSD18.3%

Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade: Why is it good for ETH?
The Ethereum blockchain is about to receive an important update on April 12th, namely the Shanghai Upgrade. The main purpose of this upgrade is to enable the extraction of Ethereum (ETH) already pledged on the Beacon Chain. Currently, over 17 million Ethereum coins are locked on the Beacon Chain, accounting for over 15% of ETH's total supply.How will this upgrade affect the price and market of ETH? We believe that from multiple perspectives, the upgrade in Shanghai is beneficial for ETH, for the following reasons:Enhancing the attractiveness of beacon chains Beacon chain is a core component of Ethereum's Proof of Rights (PoS) consensus mechanism, which enables Ethereum networks to be more secure, efficient, and environmentally friendly. Currently, to become a verifier of the beacon chain, at least 32 ETHs need to be pledged and cannot be extracted. For some users, this may be a high threshold and risk. After the upgrade in Shanghai, pledgers can freely extract their ETH and rewards, which will reduce the cost and risk of pledging, attract more users to participate in pledging, and increase the security and decentralization of the Ethereum network.Reduce the cost of second tier solutions

Nearly 30% decline within the year! Just dropped below $34000, why did Bitcoin plummet again?
Bitcoin has plummeted again! As of 18:10 on January 24th, the price of Bitcoin has dropped below $34000 per coin, marking the first time since July last year. The past week has seen a drop of over 20%, and this year it has fallen by nearly 30%, almost halving from the historical high of $68928.9 in November 2021.Analysts point out that since the beginning of this year, the higher intensity of regulation by global regulatory agencies on cryptocurrency assets, including Bitcoin, as well as the strengthening expectations of the Federal Reserve's tightening monetary policy, and the widespread selling of US technology stocks, have been the main reasons for Bitcoin's sharp decline.Falling below $34000Coindesk
