This is really great news.

The Merge fused Ethereum’s PoS testnets, cutting the chain’s energy consumption by a whopping 99.95%. Ethereum fans joined the online watch party, and even Google celebrated the event with a live countdown on its site. We honour the crypto milestone with an ETH give-away, and take our hats off to everyone who made The Merge happen.

The Merge just made Ethereum a whole lot greener.

With the recent successful merge, Ethereum is now much more energy efficient. Moving from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake has reduced Ethereum’s blockchain energy consumption over 99.95%. Vitalik Buterin tweeted that it would reduce worldwide electricity consumption by 0.2%.
