    Today's Influencer - Tim Beiko, Ethereum merger leader: Ethereum merger is expected to be completed within this year



    On April 13, Tim Beiko, Ethereum merger leader, responded on social media that: (Ethereum merger) will not be completed in June, but may be in the next few months. There is no definite date at present, but we are definitely in the final stage of Ethereum PoW. He then added that the Ethereum merger would be completed within 2022.

    In fact, as early as 2018, it has been reported that Ethereum will switch to PoS in 2018. However, the author believes that this is an extremely optimistic attitude, which not only underestimates the complexity of PoS security design, but also underestimates the complexity of the transition from PoW to PoS security. Now, Tim Beiko, the leader of Ethereum merger, replied that it will be completed within 2022. We can keep an eye on specific progress. Let's wait and see the smooth transition of Ethereum’s PoS.
