It seems to come in September ??

what can be expected ??

What is POW ?

> Proof of work (PoW) is a form of cryptographic proof in which one party (the prover) proves to others (the verifiers) that a certain amount of a specific computational effort has been expended. Verifiers can subsequently confirm this expenditure with minimal effort on their part.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof\_of\_work](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_of_work)

What is POS ?

> Proof-of-stake is a type of consensus mechanism used by blockchains to achieve distributed consensus. In proof-of-work, miners prove they have capital at risk by expending energy. In proof-of-stake, validators explicitly stake capital in the form of ether into a smart contract on Ethereum. This staked ether then acts as collateral that can be destroyed if the validator behaves dishonestly or lazily. The validator is then responsible for checking that new blocks propagated over the network are valid and occasionally creating and propagating new blocks themselves.

Once Mege is done, Proof of Work → Proof of Stake Node will migrate to POS

But… There is possbile node (POW) refuse the update Then, TWO ETH will be born Ethereum(POW) Ethereum(POS)

MEXC said “All MEXC [$ETH](https://twitter.com/search?q=%24ETH&src=cashtag_click) holders will receive the forked assets at a 1:1 ratio when the upgrade is completed.“

We can get change
