Ethereum Merge, which is highly anticipated by the crypto money world, affects both users and markets.
With Ethereum Merge, one of the first and most important steps is being taken for the transition to Ethereum 2.0. The date of September 15-16, on which the developers have recently agreed, has been a remarkable date in the markets. However, in a newly published article, it was announced that this date may be delayed by 1 week.
Ethereum Merge Date May Deviate by 1 Week Due to Proof of Work
The troublesome process continues in the Proof of Stake transition, which has been expected for years in the Ethereum Blockchain network. The developer team, which has come up to date with tests and research for a long time, also announced an update after its newly released Merge date. According to this updated date, the Merge date cannot be calculated clearly due to the PoW structure that Ethereum currently has, and therefore it is said that there may be a delay of 1 week. It is better not to see this as just a delay. This means that Merge can happen 1 week ago as well.
According to the 36th official report shared by the Ethereum Foundation, a critical 5-week period has begun for Merge. Offering advice to all nodes and developers during this period, the Ethereum Foundation said, “Stay tuned for 5 weeks, watch updates, stay agile and be ready for anything.”
