What exactly did Ethereum’s “Merge” merge?
The “Merge” itself did not enable staking withdrawals. Staked ETH could only be withdrawn after the Shanghai upgrade (Shapella) in April 2023.
The “Merge” was not intended to lower gas fees; whether fees are high or low still depends on demand on the chain.
The most important thing to keep in mind when managing funds: when using staking receipt tokens to participate in DeFi, watch out for price discrepancies between the receipt tokens and ETH.
