Ethereum Launches Testnet to Begin Work on Shanghai Upgrade

Fresh off the success of a flawlessly-implemented merge event last month, Ethereum’s core developers are beginning to turn their attention to the network’s next, highly anticipated upgrade: Shanghai.  The Ethereum Foundation on Friday announced the launch of a pre-Shanghai testnet it's calling “Shandong.” Shandong will serve as a testing ground for numerous Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), which Ethereum’s core developers will build, tweak, and ultimately, whittle down to the select number...

Ethereum Continues to Sink Post-Merge: Down 18.5% in 3 Days

It's been a great week for Ethereum—and yet one of the worst in a while for ETH.  Despite the success on Thursday of Ethereum’s much-anticipated merge, which saw the network flawlessly transition to proof of stake, the network’s native cryptocurrency, ETH, has plummeted some 18.5% in the last three days alone, to $1,419.07 at writing.  ETH is down 5.6% today, hitting a low of $1,416.57 early Friday afternoon.

Big Firms Dominate Post-Merge Ethereum Validation

Many of the benefits promised by the Ethereum merge have come to pass, including a greater-than-99% reduction in energy use and its carbon footprint. But analysts who had raised the alarm over increased centralization before the transition remain concerned that relatively few entities dominate the proof-of-stake mechanism now underlying the blockchain. "[The] top 7 entities controlling >2/3 of the stake is pretty disappointing to see tbh," tweeted Martin Köppelmann, cofounder of DeFi platform Gn...

Ethereum Price Crashes Under $1,500 After Successful Merge

The Ethereum merge went off without a hitch from a tech perspective, but sentiment around ETH after the shift to a more environmentally-friendly consensus model might be dipping. Today, the price of ETH plummeted below the $1,500 mark for the first time in more than a week. According to data from CoinGecko, ETH is down almost 8% over the last 24 hours to a current price of $1,485. That’s a sharper drop than the rest of the crypto market right now, which CoinGecko says is down about 3% on the who...

What Is 'The Merge'? Ethereum’s Move to Proof of Stake

In September 2022, Ethereum made the transition from a power-hungry, proof-of-work system to an environmentally friendly proof-of-stake system. This switch is known as the "merge.” Here’s what you need to know. What is the merge? The merge changes the way that Ethereum transactions are validated. Previously, Ethereum worked like Bitcoin: transactions were mined by a decentralized network of computers, which raced to solve mathematical puzzles and were rewarded with new coins for doing so. This...

What the Ethereum Merge Means for Ordinary Users—And What It Doesn’t

The Ethereum merge is here. The long-awaited upgrade to the second biggest cryptocurrency by market cap is expected to take place tonight, based on current estimates.  So, what does that mean for you, the ordinary user or investor? Whether you’re holding your life savings in the asset or just 0.01 ETH, the network’s move from a proof-of-work blockchain to a proof-of-stake one will make things different. But what exactly?  For some time, there have been rumors swirling around that this upgrade wi...

Ethereum Classic Hash Rate Soars as Merge Nears and Miners Roam

As Ethereum’s long-awaited upgrade nears, miners appear to be switching their rigs over to Ethereum Classic.  Ethereum is set to end mining on its network tonight following the merge, which transitions the network to proof of stake. Meanwhile, the “original” Ethereum chain—Ethereum Classic, which forked back in 2016—has hit an all-time high hash rate of 65.49 terahashes per second (TH/s), according to 2miners.com data.  Hash rate refers to the computational power used to mine a cryptocurrency.

Coinbase’s Ethereum Staking Token Is Trading at a Discount—Here’s Why

Coinbase introduced its wrapped Ethereum staking token, or cbETH, late last month, and it’s been trading at a discount ever since. That discount today got as high as 8% compared to Ethereum—the crypto asset that it’s meant to represent. Why? It helps to know that Lido Staked ETH, a similar staking token known as stETH, is also trading at a discount—albeit a smaller one of 3%, according to CoinMarketCap. These liquid staking tokens, so named because they’re a spendable representation of an illiqu...

Ethereum Staking Pools: Who Runs the Largest Ones?

Ethereum staking pools have been a popular, if somewhat contentious, way for investors without the funds or know-how to get in on network validator rewards. And there’s been plenty of time to get involved. The merge, which is scheduled to begin next week, has been in the works for years. The merge will shift Ethereum’s current proof-of-work mining model—which requires lots of power to run the mining rigs that process transactions—to a proof-of-stake consensus system that’s expected to use over 9...
