Image
With just over two weeks until The Merge, Ethereum network fees have reduced significantly as the average ethereum transfer fee has dropped to 0.00092 ether or $1.37 per transaction on August 28. Median-sized fees have slid to 0.00036 ether or $0.544 per transfer, and etherscan.io’s gas tracking tool notes a priority fee will cost 11 gwei or $0.34 to get a transaction confirmed in roughly 30 seconds. Ethereum’s Onchain Transfer Cost Remains Low, L2 Transfer and Swap Fees Are Still Cheaper On August 16, the Ethereum Foundation updated a previously published blog post in order to make it clear that The Merge would not reduce gas fees and improve throughput. While The Merge is a little more than two weeks away , Ethereum gas fees have been far less expensive than they were before mid-June.

Amid Ethereum’s Merge, Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson Says ADA’s Vasil Fork Is Coming Soon

Image
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson detailed on Friday that the Vasil hard fork is coming soon and noted that it may occur “sometime in September.” The crypto asset’s upgrade has been overshadowed by the upcoming Ethereum upgrade called The Merge. Vasil Hard Fork Due ‘Sometime in September,’ Input-Output Global’s Charles Hoskinson Says The proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain Cardano (ADA) has plans to implement a hard fork roughly around the same time The Merge is expected to be implemented. Ethereum’s Merge is roughly 16 days away from now and the change will transition Ethereum’s proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism to a PoS blockchain. Speaking during a Twitter live stream on Friday, Hoskinson told the public that while “extensive testing” is still being conducted, the Vasil hard fork could take place in mid-September. Much like The Merge, Cardano’s hard fork was postponed at the end of June. The Vasil hard fork aims to add four Cardano Improvement Proposals (CIPs) into th...

Image
The publicly listed firm Coinbase Global has revealed the company plans to evaluate any potential forks that arise from the upcoming Ethereum upgrade known as The Merge. In a recently updated blog post, Coinbase said if a new Ethereum proof-of-work (PoW) token is created it “will be reviewed with the same rigor as any other asset that is listed” on the company’s exchange. Coinbase Updates the Public About the Possibility of an Ethereum Fork Arising Post Merge The Merge is coming soon and data shows it is roughly 16 days away from now. Essentially, The Merge is Ethereum’s plan to transition from a proof-of-work (PoW) consensus algorithm to a new proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus scheme. Now despite the fact that a PoW network similar to ETH already exists in Ethereum Classic ( ETC ), there’s been talk of creating a new PoW fork when The Merge is implemented. The proposed ETH PoW fork has gained market traction as a number of crypto exchanges have created IOU token versions called ...
