A big change is coming from Etheruem, in the form of “The Merge.” The current model of crypto mining means that without the proper graphics card, new Ether cannot be generated and transactions cannot continue to shift, putting gamers in an awkward position. However, with “The Merge” on its way, all that is about to change.
Also known as “The Docking,” which plays into Ethereum’s space ship metaphor, it forms a segment of the cryptocurrency’s next stage of evolution into Eth2. An evolution which, as the Ethereum site explains: “refers to a set of interconnected upgrades that will make Ethereum more scalable, more secure, and more sustainable.”
What it actually means is that Ethereum’s Mainnet system will come together with its Beacon Chain, referred to as “a new engine and a hardened hull,” in order to form “one ship, ready to put in some serious light-years and take on the universe.”
Currently, there are only a few cryptocurrencies around the world that utilize a proof-of-stake model. Cardano, Tezos, and Algorand are among them, and with Ethereum looking to make the move before mid-2022 rolls around, we could be looking at a massive relief on the GPU stock strain.
