Course overview
Lesson Overview
9.6 – Ethereum’s Transition from Mining to Staking (The Merge): Ethereum made history by transitioning from Proof-of-Work mining to Proof-of-Stake validation in an event known as “The Merge.” This shift drastically reduced the network’s energy consumption while maintaining high security and decentralization. Instead of mining blocks with hardware, validators now lock up Ether to confirm transactions. This move improved scalability, reduced environmental impact, and laid the groundwork for future upgrades. The Merge demonstrated how a major blockchain could evolve while preserving its core principles. It marked a turning point in crypto history toward greener, more efficient network models.
