ETH is in the process of transitioning to a full proof of stake mechanism. This shift began with the launch of the Beacon Chain in 2020 and is intended to increase security and reduce energy consumption compared to the previous proof of work system. The full merge, which will complete the transition, is expected to bring further improvements and efficiencies to the Ethereum network.
