Ethereum's Transition from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake
1:34:11 - 1:44:02 (09:51)
Ethereum clients will check both the proof of work and proof of stake chains, with the eventual plan being to transition completely to the proof of stake. The merge transition block will include the Ethereum chain and every proof of stake block will include a block from Ethereum's current chain.

The Ethereum community is moving towards a major upgrade called the merge, where the activity on the proof of work chain will be moved to the proof of stake chain, effectively eliminating proof of work altogether.

Summary
The Ethereum community is moving towards a major upgrade called the merge, where the activity on the proof of work chain will be moved to the proof of stake chain, effectively eliminating proof of work altogether. Following the merge transition block, every proof of stake chain block will contain a block of what is currently considered the Ethereum chain, known as the execution chain.

Summary
The Ethereum community needs to carry out extensive testing and audits to ensure that the upcoming transition from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake runs smoothly. Online hackathons and specialized networks can aid in this testing process.
