Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin in a tweet on Friday said although bordel.wtf predicts September 15 as the anticipated date for the Merge, the exact date of the Merge will depend on hashrate.
Ethereum Foundation and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin have not strongly asserted a date, but September 15 is most likely based on the current hashrate at 879.2 TH/s.
Vitalik Buterin Suggests Hashrate for Merge’s Exact Date
Vitalik Buterin in a tweet on August 12 announces that the terminal total difficulty (TTD) has been set to 58750000000000000000000. The Ethereum Mainnet is ready to merge with the Beacon Chain to transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus.
He believes the Ethereum PoW network or Ethereum Mainnet has only a fixed number of hashes to mine. According to bordel.wtf, the anticipated date for the Merge is September 15. However, the exact date of the Merge will depend on hashrate.
“The terminal total difficulty has been set to 58750000000000000000000. This means the ethereum PoW network now has a (roughly) fixed number of hashes left to mine. bordel.wtf predicts the merge will happen around Sep 15, though the exact date depends on hashrate.”
