Ethereum Hash rate scores new ATH as PoS migration underway
In the past years, Ethereum has significantly increased its value to the point that it also surpassed Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of returns. Mining on the ethereum network is more lucrative due to this rise in its value. This perhaps has added to an additional number of miners in expanding the network’s hash rate.
According to data from the glass node, the hash rate has significantly increased of record levels 1.11 PH/s. The increase in hash rate is indicative of more nodes joining the network thus making it more decentralized. This increase works in favor of the security of the blockchain network. This also improves the transaction speed of the blockchain network. The Arrow Glacier upgrade that was introduced in December 2021 delayed the merger to proof-of-stake implying that ethereum mining still has a long way to go before it completely comes to an end. Are you an ethereum miner? This crypto news can surely help you to get better and earn better.
