1. It’s already live on the PoS beacon chain, and has been since December 2020.
2. The specs for the transition are ready and it’ll happen next year. Target is before June. First long-lived Merge testnet goes live next month.
- viraptor 5y agoYes, there's a live test. So as mentioned before: we don't know if it will happen for real transactions, if a meaningful number of people will accept it, and when will it happen. (It's likely, but still months away)
- 0x64 5y agoIt's not a test chain, it's _the_ PoS chain that will be transitioned to. It's running on real Ether, over $30b worth of it. You're incredibly out of touch.
- viraptor 5y agoSure, that chain is the target for the merge and it's running with real Ether. But it's still a test. Right now if PoS nodes say a transaction exists but PoW say it doesn't... then for all practical purposes it doesn't exist.
