Ethereum’s Ropsten Testnet Has Completed Its Merge

Currently, the Beacon Chain runs in parallel with the current PoW chain. The Beacon Chain is the PoS coordination chain that already has validators creating and validating new blocks in tandem with the PoW execution chain. Once the PoS chain has been adequately tested and secured, the two chains will merge and Ethereum ( $2,418.02 ) will continue as a PoS blockchain.
