Ethereum’s next two network upgrades, called Constantinople and St. Petersburg, are scheduled to take place this week at block height 7,280,000, which is expected to be mined on today. Moving from the purposefully computationally expensive Proof of Work (PoW) model, also somewhat unaffectionately known as ‘proof of waste’ due to its high energy costs, to Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus protocol will make the Ethereum network faster and transactions cheaper.
What do you think about it?
