What is known about The Merge? On September 15, at 06:45 UTC, the Ethereum network switched from the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). The method of earning ETH changed from mining to staking, network management shifted from miners to validators, and the asset became deflationary.
