Ethereum Merge is Going to be Exciting Prospect

Proof-of-Stake Will Significantly Enhance Ethereums Sustainability  Dan Morehead, CEO of Pantera Capital, emphasizes the advantages of Ethereum, or ETH switching to a proof-of-stake, or PoS consensus method. The chief executive of the crypto-focused hedge firm Pantera explains in its most recent Blockchain Letter that one impact of the networks impending Merge would be the termination of miner payouts, resulting in a drop in the daily issuance of new ETH from 14,600 to 1,600 tokens.  Morehead asserted that this would make the most popular smart contract platform a deflationary asset. Following The Merge, Ethereums daily issuance rate of 1,600 ETH, net of fees burnt, is zero. This would result in a net negative issuance of ETH after deducting validator penalties such as being sliced for misbehaving and ETH that is lost over time.  Ang posibilidad ng Ethereum being a potentially deflationary asset is intriguing given the current inflationary climate. The message continues by explaining how removing proof-of-work (PoW) will make the project more environmentally friendly. With an estimated 99.95% decrease in energy consumption, switching to proof-of-stake will significantly enhance Ethereums sustainability from an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standpoint.
