The Ethereum Merge explained in a few sentences:
The Merge was not done to lower gas fees; whether transaction fees are high or low still depends mainly on demand on the blockchain.
You can think of the Merge as changing the engine on a plane mid-flight: account balances, contracts, and transaction history all stayed the same; what changed was how blocks are produced.
Ignore messages telling you to “exchange ETH for the upgrade”: network upgrades do not require users to swap coins.
$ETH 2318.73（+1.24%）
