Ethereum Upgrades
Ethereum UpgradesEthereum upgrades are a series of protocol improvements designed to enhance scalability, security, and sustainability while supporting a growing decentralized application ecosystem. One of the most significant milestones was “The Merge,” which transitioned Ethereum from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake, reducing energy consumption by over 99% and changing how the network is secured. Subsequent upgrades, such as Shanghai and Capella, enabled staked ETH withdrawals, improving fl...
