Statistics on the Glassnode website
TVL (Total Value Locked) is the total amount of funds locked in smart contracts and providing liquidity. The figure shows how much investors have invested in a particular project, pool, or the field of decentralized finance as a whole at the current time.
What is Ethereum 2.0? It is a major upgrade to the network, preparations for which began back in December 2020. The main goal of Ethereum 2.0 is to change the consensus algorithm from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS). For more details about the upgrade and how miners will be able to earn in the changed conditions, see GetBlock Magazine’s article.
On May 30, Ethereum developer Tim Beiko reported that the team would be conducting a blockchain merge on the PoW and PoS of the Ropsten test network. He added that the release of “The Merge” update, after which Ethereum would switch to PoS, is expected around June 8. Other testnets, such as Rinkeby and Kovan, would be able to be supported and upgraded by the community, but would no longer be controlled by app developers.
