The latest<\/span> Ethereum news<\/span><\/a> coming from the camp of the digital project is that its highly networked merge (Ethereum 2.0) is set to happen in August, according to its core developers. Ethereum\u2019s switch from its current Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus method on its network to Ethereum 2.0, the Proof-of-Stake (POS) protocol, could finally happen in August.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earlier this month, according to configuration code seen in a pull request from Ethereum DevOps developer <\/span>Parathi Jayanathi<\/span><\/a> in the eth-clients GitHub repository, the Ropsten Public Testnet upgrade is scheduled to go live this month. This upgrade, according to Jayanathi, was going to push the Ropsten Testnet to become a full PoS protocol.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite Ethereum developers projecting the upgrade of the Ropsten public testnet in June, they failed to set a definite date for the merge. They, however, revealed that the preparations for the merge, which will see the Ethereum protocol switch to<\/span> the new validation model<\/span><\/a>, have been in the works for a long time, as developers have been focused particularly on testing how the upgrade would operate on a shadow fork as early as April.<\/span><\/p>\n Moving to the current Ethereum news, Ethereum developers will hope to quickly switch to proof of stake, which will eliminate the need for an update to postpone the bomb. Speaking before a panel at the Permissionless conference, Ethereum core developer Preston Van Loon stated that there’s momentum behind finalizing the move in the next three months.<\/span><\/p>\n
