В блоге Ethereum Foundation появилась запись о скором переходе протокола блокчейна от майнинга к стекингу или пассивному доходу для вкладчиков. Протокол Ethereum переходит на метод proof of stake (PoS) или, по-русски, на «подтверждение доли». Хорошая новость для желающих принять участие в работе сети Ethereum кроется в том, что энергоэффективность блокчейн операций вырастет на 99 %. По заявлению Ethereum Foundation, уже в ближайшие месяцы энергоэффективность работы блокчейна Ethereum в 7000 раз превзойдёт энергоэффективность добычи биткоина. Работа блокчейн сетей Ethereum станет дружественней к зелёным инициативам в мире, а вторичный рынок видеокарт взорвётся интересными предложениями.
