Ethereum Merge Pushed to Q3 As ‘Final Chapter’ of Proof-of-Work Looms

The Ethereum merge that forms a key part of the so-called Ethereum 2.0 upgrade has been delayed until the latter half of 2022.

“It won’t be June, but likely in the few months after,” Tim Beiko, an Ethereum Foundation developer, said yesterday on Twitter. “No firm date yet, but we’re definitely in the final chapter of PoW on Ethereum.”

Earlier in the Twitter thread, Beiko had urged a user not to invest in any more mining equipment.
