Ethereum will complete the transition from a proof-of-work to proof-of-stake consensus mechanism by September 20. What to anticipate:
- Lower carbon footprint since POS validation requires 99.95% less energy.
- Reduced ether supply with 90% slower issuance.
The Merge might also help Ethereum solve its scalability.
