    Method⚡


    For answering above questions, i went through ==ETH merge== and analyzed what happened after merge.

    I used ==Ethereum.core== database provided by Flipsidecrypto and used ==“ethereum.core.fact_transactions”== table for ==Total== Stats,

    ==“ethereum.core.ez_dex_swaps”== for ==Swap== Stats, ==“ethereum.core.ez_nft_sales”== for ==NFT== Stats and

    ==“ethereum.core.ez_token_transfers”== for ==Stake== Stats.

    I separate before and after merge in my charts so its more understandable that what happend before and after merge

    All the data and charts that i analyzed and you are going to see are since September until today 2022-09-30

    (Whole September)

    Introduction🚩


    What was Ethereum Merge?

    The Merge was the joining of the original execution layer of Ethereum (the Mainnet that has existed since genesis) with its new proof-of-stake consensus layer, the Beacon Chain. It eliminated the need for energy-intensive mining and instead enabled the network to be secured using staked ETH.

    Who are Ethereum miners?

    Mining is the lifeblood of any proof-of-work blockchain. Ethereum miners - computers running software - used their time and computation power to process transactions and produce blocks prior to the transition to proof-of-stake.
