Скачать или смотреть Why Ethereum's Merge Was Delayed and Why It Won't Reduce Gas Fees Much - Ep.341

Tim Beiko, the Ethereum Foundation coordinator for core developers, discusses his recent estimation that Ethereum’s merge, where the network transitions from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, will be delayed until the second half of 2022.
Show topics:
● what the Ethereum merge is
● why an upcoming difficulty bomb could force developers to delay the merge
● what shadow forks are and how they affect the decision to go forward with the merge
● how network difficulty is used in Ethereum to keep a balance between the blockchain and miners
● Tim’s (purposefully vague) timeline for the merge
● how the merge could increase Ethereum’s throughput by 9% – and thus potentially reduce gas fees slightly
● how the Ethereum Foundation plans to address gas fees and scaling issues post-merge
