The Future is Now - From Metropolis to Serenity

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

History frames the roadmap: proof-of-stake research yields a live Beacon Chain and concrete numbers — 3.9 million stakers and 120,000 validators running validator clients and beacon nodes — and the Merge fuses execution and consensus by inserting the execution payload into beacon blocks so mining is disabled, producing an executable beacon chain. Practical work focuses on deposit contracts, slashing rules, incremental client upgrades, data-availability and stateless-client tradeoffs, and sharding as a future scalability layer.
