Buterin told what will happen with Ethereum
In early February, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin spoke about the project's plans for the coming year, and answered user questions during an AMA session. According to him, three hard forks - Berlin, Altair and London - were key for the ecosystem in 2021. They set the stage for the next step, the merger.
The main goal of the project for 2022 is to merge the PoW consensus-based chain with the new PoS-based chain. This stage is called The Merge. When it's finished, there will be no PoW, only a PoS chain.
According to Vitalik, the progress of the network is currently 50%, and after consolidation and improved scalability, it will grow to 80%.
The next important task for Ethereum is to increase scalability. The network plans to use roll-up and sharding technology to reduce transaction fees to the lowest possible level.
