Study Notes | Ethereum Merge
① Staking withdrawals were not enabled at the time of the “Merge”; staked ETH could only be withdrawn after the Shanghai upgrade (Shapella) in April 2023.
② The “Merge” was not done to lower gas fees; transaction fees still depend on demand on the chain.
③ Ignore claims telling you to “migrate your ETH for the upgrade”: network upgrades do not require users to exchange their coins.
$ETH 1823.88（-5.56%）
