What is proof-of-stake (PoS)?
Proof-of-stake is a type of consensus mechanism used by blockchains to achieve distributed consensus. In proof-of-work, miners prove they have capital at risk by expending energy. In proof-of-stake, validators explicitly stake capital in the form of ether into a smart contract on Ethereum
What is Ethereum Merge:
The Ethereum Merge is a network update to transition Ethereum from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. There is an expected 99% reduction in energy costs associated with processing Ethereum transactions.
Cryptocurrency market watchers are eagerly waiting for the Ethereum merge to happen in no time.
