In this episode of The WRST Podcast we explore the upcoming Ethereum network merge. The Ethereum network has been conducting mining on chain using a proof-of-work model to process new blocks. This is in parity to how the Bitcoin network works at the time of this recording, and with it a host of hot button issues around power consumption, the usage of CPU clock cycles for this kind of work, and the far away possibility of network hijacks. Featuring Alex Wykoff from WRST Collabs and Matt Howitt from 236 Labs we will explore the pros, cons, and looking forward on the Ethereum network!
