One of the foremost concerns regarding the Merge is that of centralization. Another potential concern is the risk of scams, as the general public may not be aware of how the Merge works. A fundamental flaw in the Merge is that it will likely increase the concentration of power within the network. The more valuable

A software program called a web service enables computer-to-computer communication over the internet.

Ethereum completed one of its historic upgrades in mid-September. The Merge created the transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Unfortunately, the post-Merge events brought deflationary situations for the blockchain. As predicted by some crypto experts, the price of Ethereum has dropped drastically following its transition to PoS. Also, the dynamics of ETH supply have

The post-Merge landscape of Ethereum took many by surprise; the figures and the outcome weren’t something they had in mind. Bad macroeconomic conditions and other negative factors overshadowed what was expected as a breakthrough. It was, in some ways, but the fanfare pre-Marge was so hyped up, until a few days following the event. The

Ethereum open interest (OI) had seen a meteoric rise in the weeks leading up to the Ethereum Merge. Even after the Merge, the open interest has not declined, given all of the new interest from institutional investors following the network’s move to a proof of work mechanism.

Ethereum has been following the general trend in the crypto market, giving back its profit obtained over the past week.

Ethereum has been seeing increased regulatory scrutiny in recent months. This comes following the network’s move to a proof of stake mechanism and the introduction of staking to the others. As sanctions have been levied against protocols such as Tornado Cash, it is becoming increasingly possible that regulatory bodies may turn their focus to Ethereum.

Ethereum blockchain shifted from a proof-of-work (PoW) to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism on Sept. 15, 2022. Along with this move, ETHPoW, a distinct PoW blockchain (basically the old pre-Merge Ethereum) forked from Ethereum’s Merge, became live. This forked version of Ethereum aims to maintain the proof-of-work mining process for ETH miners. Any miner is
