What is the Ethereum “Merger” and why is it the most anticipated event in the crypto world The purpose of the merger is to speed up the transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. To speed up the transition, the developers are working on reducing features that may cause delay and temporarily limit the ability to withdraw invested ETH after the merge is completed. However, they are likely to be removed in a post-merger update. While the merger will not immediately address scalability issues, it will help prepare the network for a version of Ethereum shard child chains that will rely on a fully functional PoS network to operate. By distributing the load on the network across 64 blockchains, shard chains provide additional lower cost layers for applications and data storage packages. They also allow Tier 2 systems to offer low transaction fees while benefiting from the security of the Ethereum mainnet. I look forward to the arrival of Ethereum 2.0 and wish this most important currency for the crypto world to grow and prosper
