Ethereum Successfully Migrates from PoW to PoS in “The Merge” on September 15th https://ethmerge.com/

You do not need to do anything to protect your funds entering The Merge. This bears repeating: As a user or holder of ETH or any other digital asset on Ethereum, as well as non-node-operating stakers, you do not need to do anything with your funds or wallet before The Merge. 1 Users will experience no change in their day-to-day experience using Ethereum. 2

FAQ about The Merge https://ethmerge.com/

ethmerge.com is actually a nice simple resource with basic and digestible info about the merge. Is it still maintained? I issued a pull request to update one of the FAQs :)

After that Bitcoin becomes the second most secure blockchain [ https://ethmerge.com/ ].

Sure, but the devs have not been facilitating anywhere near the sort of information that they're communicating to stakers. I'm speaking purely in terms of what to expect. For instance, ethmerge.com has virtually no information for miners.

This is a really informative summary! This website also does a great job explaining the merge! https://ethmerge.com

open source. we’re building base on the OP Stack — which means that if you want to contribute, you can! you can review the code and start contributing here. we’ll be open sourcing as much as possible, so more people can get involved.

Optimism is an Ethereum scaling solution that enables anyone to execute any vision on an open source protocol that will never be captured by private interests. We’re building this technology as a public good, in order to fundamentally change the relationship between companies and their users.

From code to ethos, we are Ethereum-aligned. By operating as a Public Benefit Corporation, we align private incentives with public good and create a positive-sum economic model that provides a sustainable future for the internet.

Today, the most pressing bottleneck to Ethereum and crypto’s growth is its performance and scalability. We are building the most elegant solution to this problem. We do this out in the open because we believe in open source and its ability to accelerate innovation.

To date, we have raised $178M. Both series A and B were led by Andreessen Horowitz and Paradigm.

We are actively hiring for the roles listed here: All open roles are listed here:

Join us in scaling Ethereum and empowering the creators of public goods! :)

Optimism's Bedrock contracts have pretty good examples - https://github.com/ethereum-optimism/optimism/tree/develop/packages/contracts-bedrock

Perp-maker is an open-source market-making template for Perpetual Protocol v2, the most popular dApp on Optimism (a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum). Anyone can use or modify the template to facilitate trades on the protocol and earn fees.

Except that anyone with a minimal involvement with Ethereum already knows that the base layer is not meant to be used on day-to-day operations.

We already learned about the decentralization trillema. The strategy to scale Ethereum through will be through the adoption of "layer-2" systems, where users are expected to be doing their transactions and avoid these costly transactions altogether.

There are roll-ups already dealing with NFT marketplaces [0]. There are roll-ups that can execute any type of ethereum smart contract [1] [2]. There are payment channels that allow completely decentralized and gas-less transfers of ERC-20 tokens [3].

Boba is a compute-focused L2. We believe that L2s can play a unique role in augmenting the base compute capabilities of the Ethereum ecosystem. You can learn more about Turing hybrid compute here. Boba is built on the Optimistic Rollup developed by Optimism. Aside from its main focus, augmenting compute, Boba differs from Optimism by:

The Across bridge is the fastest, cheapest, and most secure bridge between L1 and L2 (and soon between L2 and L2 hopefully). Across has integrated with the canonical bridges of Boba.network, Optimism.io, and Arbitrum.io, with more to come. Go take it for a spin and save yourself some ETH here: https://across.to/
