This process is expected to be completed by June of this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the incoming Proof-of-Stake mechanism, Ethereum would no longer depend on an energy-intensive process of mining new coins; instead, validators will be charged with verifying new transactions by staking their ETH holdings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why the change of name is happening<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Available information reveals that ETH foundation was changing the names to reduce the confusion and misconception associated with ETH 1 and ETH 2.0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It noted that some users &#8220;intuitively think that ETH 1 comes first and ETH 2 comes after. Or that ETH 1 (will) cease to exist once ETH 2 exists. Neither of these is true.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason given for the name change was revealed to be to prevent scams. It highlighted that scammers have seldom taken advantage of the numbers attached to defraud unsuspecting individuals about the network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Scammers often trick users into believing that they need to upgrade from the current consensus mechanism to the ETH 2.0. This, most of the time confuses users and usually ends in the loss of funds.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Ethereum\u2019s Arrow Glacier update<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recently, Ethereum implemented the Arrow Glacier update, designed to delay the \u201cdifficulty bomb\u201d \u2014 a mechanism that makes it difficult to mine Ethereum \u2014 to around the middle of this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0It is expected that after Ethereum finally transitions into a proof of stake model, the \u201cbomb\u201d will no longer exist on the network as validators will require less computing power to verify transactions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, Ethereum blockchain users can expect that when the upgrade is finally completed, the network will become more scalable, secure, and sustainable like most of its current rivals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an attempt to avoid confusion in the future over terminology on its network, the second-largest blockchain, Ethereum, has scrapped old terms like &#8220;Ethereum 1.0\u201d and \u201cEthereum 2.0,&#8221; replacing them with new branding.
