What you need to know about the Ethereum Merge
How does Ethereum work?
Ethereum is used by developers from around the globe for building apps. This is only a part of Ethereum. Other uses include making transactions, holding assets and communication, all without the need to divulge any personal details.
“You keep control of the data that is shared”.
Ethereum has its own cryptocurrency known as Ether, or eth for short.
Ether can be used to pay for activities that you undertake on the Ethereum network. Being the second largest cryptocurrency by market cap, it is also a very popular asset traded by crypto enthusiasts.

What does all that mean?
In simplistic terms, The Merge is a long awaited and anticipated upgrade to the Ethereum blockchain. A blockchain is a database that stores information in a digital format.
Data that was stored on Ethereum’s mainnet will be transferred to the Beacon Chain system.
This will have a ‘greener’ effect on Ethereum, with the energy costs reducing by an estimated 99.95%. Computers that were energy heavy will be replaced by computers that are far more energy efficient.
When does The Merge happen?
The first stage, called ‘Bellatrix’, completed at 7.34 EST, on the 6th of September 20022. The second stage, called ‘Paris’, is estimated to be completed around mid-month.
