How The Merge Impacts Ethereum’s Application Layer

Ethereum's transition to proof of stake through The Merge is approaching with devnets being deployed and specifications finalized. The upgrade is designed to minimize impact on end users, smart contracts and decentralized applications while transitioning the network's consensus mechanism.

• →Ethereum's Merge to proof of stake is in final preparation stages with active devnet testing.
• →The transition is designed to have minimal impact on existing applications and user experience.
• →Community outreach efforts have begun as the network prepares for the major upgrade.
• →The Merge represents a fundamental change to Ethereum's consensus mechanism.
• →Smart contracts and dapps should continue operating normally through the transition.
