Established in July 2015, Ethereum has long been leading the industry with Bitcoin as the most popular digital assets. The Ethereum network is has been running on the Proof-of-Work consensus algorithm like Bitcoin since its inception, but is now changing to Proof-of-Stake. Benefits of The Merge include a massive 99.95% reduction in the network’s energy consumption and eventually, lower fees and faster transaction speed for users as the upgrade will set the stage for future scaling upgrades including sharding.
Moonstake Wallet has always supported the staking assets available on the Ethereum chain such as ORBS and CENNZ. By becoming one of the first platforms to support Proof-of-Stake Ethereum, Moonstake is further demonstrating its commitment to providing the best experience for crypto users.

About Ethereum
Ethereum is a technology for building apps and organizations, holding assets, transacting and communicating without being controlled by a central authority. There is no need to hand over all your personal details to use Ethereum – you keep control of your own data and what is being shared. Ethereum has its own cryptocurrency, Ether, which is used to pay for certain activities on the Ethereum network.
