Post Merge Behavior

    db_img

    The Merge was the joining of the original execution layer of Ethereum (the Mainnet that has existed since Genesis ) with its new proof-of-stake consensus layer, the Beacon Chain. It eliminated the need for energy-intensive mining and instead enabled the network to be secured using staked ETH. It was a truly exciting step in realizing the Ethereum vision—more scalability, security, and sustainability.

    The term 'Eth2' has been deprecated. After merging 'Eth1' and 'Eth2' into a single chain, there is no longer any need to distinguish between two Ethereum networks; there is just Ethereum.

    To limit confusion, the community has updated these terms:

    'Eth1' is now the 'execution layer', which handles transactions and execution.

    'Eth2' is now the 'consensus layer', which handles proof-of-stake consensus.

    These terminology updates only change naming conventions; this does not alter Ethereum's goals or roadmap.

    On Sept. 15, a few minutes before 3 a.m. Eastern time, Ethereum switched from using energy-intensive technology to a more sustainable system in a major update called "the merge."
