Ethereum ETH/USD is a decentralized blockchain platform that is powered by its native cryptocurrency token known as Ether.
The blockchain has a reputation for its smart contracts functionality which has enabled the developments in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and decentralized applications (dApps).
Throughout its years, it has undergone numerous developments that aim to improve its overall functionality.
The hype surrounding the Ethereum Upgrade as a catalyst for growthThe billionaire investor and entrepreneur Mark Cuban said that he is “very bullish” on the upcoming Ethereum upgrade, which will transition the network towards a higher level of energy efficiency.
The upgrade, which is known as “The Merge ” is expected to be released later this summer which makes the blockchain transition towards Proof-of-Stake (PoS), which will lead to many infrastructure improvements.
We also covered why this merge might not be all that it seems on April 4.
The ETHIndia hackathons page on Twitter, on April 8, 2022, launched ETHIndia grants as a means of providing equity-free grants to builders on Ethereum.
Alongside all of this, many institutional investors that have kept clear of carbon-intensive cryptocurrencies are expected to have a heightened level of interest surrounding the eco-friendly ETH 2.0 once the merge dramatically manages to lower the overall carbon footprint.
