Great recap of the successful Ethereum transition to Proof-of-Stake, away from mining.
At 2:43 AM Eastern Time at block 15537393, Ethereum’s Proof-of-Work era came to an end, ushering in a new age of Proof-of-Stake Ethereum. With no downtime and in the course of just 12 seconds, Ethereum block production successfully transitioned from a globally-distributed group of miners running specialized hardware to a globally-distributed group of validators staking ETH.
I stayed up late to watch this event live. It was a fun bit of history to be part of.
