Ethereum: The Great Renaming
Ethereum is a protocol undergoing significant changes. Client teams are upgrading the protocol to scale to meet global demand while improving security and decentralization. Beyond protocol development, a critical shift in Ethereum has been the movement away from ‘Eth1’ and ‘Eth2’ terminology. As of late 2021, core developers stopped using the terminology, preferring ‘execution layer’ and ‘consensus layer’, respectively.

Proof of Stake
Ethereum is moving to a consensus mechanism called proof-of-stake (PoS) from proof-of-work (PoW). However getting PoS right is a big technical challenge and not as straightforward as using PoW to reach consensus across the network.

Proof of Work
Existing Blockchain technology is working on the core concept of 'Proof Of Work' (POW). A proof-of-work (PoW) is a protocol that is difficult to compute but easy to verify.

EIPs & Standardization Process
Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) describe standards for the Ethereum platform, including core protocol specifications, client APIs, and contract standards. Network upgrades are discussed separately in the Ethereum Project Management repository.

Ethereum Testnets after The Merge
Ethereum blockchain is transitioning to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus with The Merge network upgrade. It is anticipated that Ethereum devs will retain Sepolia, a PoW testnet, and Goerli, the current PoA/PoS test network. However, Ropsten will no longer be maintained by go-ethereum developers. It will be online as long as people continue to mine on it. Prater is the current Proof of Stake test network for Beacon chain will be around for some time even after the Merge.

Ethereum Mainnet Shadow Forking: An Overview
The transition of Ethereum from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus is getting closer, with developers launching the first mainnet shadow fork on April 11th. The goal is to put existing assumptions about testnets and the mainnet to the test. This was one of the most important historical events in the Merge upgrade. According to Marius Van Der Wijden, a developer at Go-ethereum Client, this mainnet shadow fork was a huge success.

MEV in DeFi
The explosion in Ethereum-based DeFi protocols provides a glimpse of what the DeFi ecosystem breakthrough can bring in the future. As DeFi grows in the blockchain ecosystem, MEV is becoming a trending topic for developers and miners community. Miners frequently utilize MEV to make more income on a block by reordering transactions in each block in ways that benefit them.

Ethereum's Roadmap for 2022 and Beyond!
Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder & researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, shared the latest roadmap of Ethereum protocol development on Twitter. This is a thoughtful return gift by Vitalik to the Ethereum community on the first anniversary of the beacon chain launch.
