After Ropsten and Sepolia, Goerli is the last testnet scheduled to be integrated and officially became a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain on August 11th at 1:45am UTC.
Today the Goerli testnet merge completed without any major issues. This suggests there is no delay in the tentative date for the Ethereum merge set for September 19th.
Many leading developers and figures in the Ethereum ecosystem have shared their enthusiasm for the successful integration on Twitter. Developer Preston Van Loon and Podcaster/ETH advocate Anthony Sassano (@sassal0x) told his 216,400 followers, “Next (finally) is Ethereum mainnet!! The merge is coming.”

However, some pointed out a minor issue that was also present in the merging of the two previous testnets.
Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden noted that there was “network chaos with two different terminal blocks and a large number of unupdated nodes” which slowed the process down slightly, but still the situation ” He said it looked “very good.”
Meanwhile, lead Ethereum developer Tim Beiko also shared a screenshot as soon as Goerli’s switch to PoS was complete.

Given that Beiko has previously said that a major upgrade will be completed on (or near) his proposed September 15th, the highly anticipated merger of the Ethereum mainnet with the PoS-based beacon chain is in question. I am more confident that I will complete it without He 19 if the final merge trail run was successful.
Considered one of the most significant upgrades in blockchain history, Merge significantly reduces Ethereum’s energy consumption while bringing the network one step closer to its long-term scalability, security, and sustainability goals. increase.
According to Ethereum’s website, once the merge is complete, the next major landmark will be a multitude that will greatly enhance “distribution of data storage requirements, reduced rollup costs, and easier node operations.” It will be a staged sharding upgrade.

Sharding essentially involves distributing the Ethereum database horizontally across the shard chain, giving the network greater capacity while reducing the burden on the core network.
Ether (ETH) price is shooting like a meteorite towards the merger, rising 72.2% to $1,890 in the last 30 days at the time of writing.
Let’s go! Goerli merged
