I feel like every year is the year when Ethereum will finally transition to PoS, but it never happens.
- 0x64 4y agoName another year that has had feature-ready clients across the board, with a working merge transition mechanism implemented across all of them. The proof-of-stake chain we're merging to was launched in December of 2020, and has been running since, with almost 400'000 validators currently.

- delecti 4y agoI've seen stories detailing how they were ready to switch to PoS by "the end of the year" as far back as 2017. Ethereum has been PoW for it's entire existence, and has also been promising PoS for almost 3/4 of that time. It's not impossible that this time it's really true, but I'll believe it when it happens.
