Ethereum has completed 'the Merge', a software update that converts the blockchain from a 'proof-of-work' system to a 'proof-of-stake'.

It also reduces security risks by protecting against '51% attacks'. Now Ethereum has other challenges to address: the cost of transactions, the speed of transactions, and creeping centralization.
