Introduction

As you know, Ethereum blockchain mechanism was changed from proof of work method to proof of stake method, this update under the title Merge was done successfully on September 15. Before the update, there were speculations about the price change or transaction fees, and now we are going to check the behavior of users and other things after and before this update.

ETH Volume of Stake Platforms (Lido and RocketPool)

USD Volume of Stake Platforms (Lido and RocketPool)

Users of Stake Platforms (Lido and RocketPool)

Transactions of Stake Platforms (Lido and RocketPool)

In the charts, the behavior of users in famous stake platforms such as Lido and Rocket Pool has been checked, and the charts related to Lido are regularly displayed on the right side and the charts related to Rocket Pool are displayed on the left side.

As it is known, as soon as Ethereum changed to proof of stake, the number of transactions and stake users increased

The USD volume and the staked Ethereum volume in the days after the update are much higher than before, and this is normal because Ethereum continues on the basis of proof of stake after September 15.

All charts and numbers above are related to Ethereum gas and transaction fees before and after the update

As you can see, the average gas in the days before the update was 13.5 and this average decreased to 8.8 after Merge.

Naturally, the transaction fees have become a little lower than before, according to Ethereum Gas

Method

My method for checking and analyzing the behavior of users and other things is very clear, and by coloring the charts before and after the update, you can check their behavior well.

I have checked and analyzed the Ethereum price, transaction fees, Ethereum daily gas, Ethereum stake on different platforms, the number of users and transfer volume and many other things from the tables that you can see below

In these charts, as you can see the mined blocks, the noteworthy points of this section are that the number of transactions of each block has decreased slightly after the update.

But the number of mined blocks has increased after Merge

And the third thing is that the number of unique miners before the update was about 65 miners, but after the update, more users started to mine Ethereum through proof of stake.
