Knowledge Card: The Ethereum Merge
Official Ethereum sources show that the Merge reduced Ethereum’s energy consumption by about 99.95%.
After the Merge, running a full Ethereum node requires running both an execution-layer client and a consensus-layer client.
When using staking receipts to participate in DeFi, note that their price can sometimes diverge from the price of ETH.
After the Merge, newly issued $ETH is no longer awarded to miners, but is instead given to validators. Currently 2320.91.
This is not buying or selling advice.
