Merge successful: Ethereum moved from PoW to PoS

After the successful transition to proof-of-stake, a further series of scalability and security upgrades is planned. So-called “shard chains” will make Ethereum more scalable and increase the transaction volume and speed:

Sharding is a multi-phase upgrade to improve Ethereum’s scalability and capacity. Sharding provides secure distribution of data storage requirements, enabling rollups to be even cheaper, and making nodes easier to operate. They enable layer 2 solutions to offer low transaction fees while leveraging the security of Ethereum.
