2022-09-06 19:23:13 Ethereum activates Bellatrix upgrade as last step before The Merge

The Bellatrix upgrade was activated at epoch 144896 on the Beacon Chain at 11:34 AM UTC today. Before the Bellatrix upgrade could go through, Ethereum nodes had to update their client software versions.

While Bellatrix is not The Merge itself, it’s a necessary step to prepare Beacon Chain for the consensus switch switch. The Bellatrix upgrade was the hard fork upgrade that introduced what's called "execution payload," a parameter that’s so far been missing on the Beacon Chain. This parameter is needed for validators to start creating mainnet blocks.

The final step is called Paris, which will trigger The Merge. Beacon Chain (consensus layer) validators will take over from proof-of-work miners to start finalizing Ethereum’s mainnet blocks.

2022-09-05 19:23:08 Ethereum Unique Addresses Grow in Anticipation of Merge

Ethereum Merge is only 13 days away, and activity on the network is reaching new highs with 204,571,827 unique addresses on the network now. This represents a growth of over two million unique addresses in the last 30 days -a daily average of 70,000 addresses based on Etherscan data.

While new addresses don’t always mean increased network activity as individual investors may have multiple addresses. However, it could be a sign of increased interest in the blockchain network. The number of staked ETH on Ethereum 2.0 has been growing consistently over the past few months and stands at 13,509,375 ETH as of August 31. That represents an addition of over 300k ETH to the network within a month.
