Tim Beiko, the developer of Ethereum posted on Tuesday that Kiln has successfully overcome the Merge in ETH. While the test was going on, numerous validators conducted transactions with post-merge blocks. The last testnet of Merge will be Kiln and it will be upgraded to the existing tenets and will be finally called Ethereum 2.0.
One Minor Bug Postponed The Launch Of Ethereum Merge
The objective of the Merge in Ethereum is just to take the Execution Layer of Ethereum from the preexisting PoW layer and incorporate it with the layer of Consensus that belongs to the Beacon chain. This will result in the turn of blockchain into a network of PoS.
This experiment has been going on for six years and since then ETH has developed and evolved a lot in its research. The Merge will help to have a more secure and safe network, ensure predictable block times, and a 99.98%+ decrease in the use of power which will be very essential during its launch in mainnet in the second half of this year.
However, everything did not go as planned in the test phase. In the views of Kiln Explorer, there happened to be a lot of errors in regard to the creation of the contract. Following that incident, Beiko clarified that a particular client could not consistently produce the blocks and the network is presently stable with less than two-thirds of validators finalizing correctly.
A language variant of Go programming is called Prysm and is used for the working of all the specifications of Ethereum consensus. In the views of Der Wijden, only one block contained the wrong base fee per value of gas and replacing it with the correct value solved the issue instantly. The roadmap where all the official news is posted stated that the Merge will be upgraded and shipped by the Ethereum Foundation by 2022.
