Ethereum Merge is coming... Prepare for some possible airdrops in advance.

avatar

Everyone in the crypto circle should already be aware that the mighty Ethereum chain is looking to transform itself from a POW chain into a POS chain! This has been prepared for such a long time that it doesn't seem real that it's actually coming! (oh well, still not 100% sure as anything in crypto can delay the wens as we have witnessed hundreds of times...)

Here is the official explanation of "The Merge" if you want to DYOR

https://ethereum.org/en/upgrades/merge/

The point is...

As much as we all believe that this POS move should be a success, there are many out there that want ethereum to stay POW or just want to make some quick money or for many different reasons that they will create forks of this number one smart chain.

Yes, airdrops. For Eth hodlers.

I read a good instruction on twitter about what to do if you own some Eths...

Basically, get all your Eths back to main chain before the merge or have them on an exchange that supports such airdrops. For me, I personally trust binance to do a decent job regarding this matter, so I will put my Eth on either one of them - chain or Binance.

The chain has to be the main chain, not the so-called layer-2 chains and you'd better keep them in Eth form rather in wrapped form just to be safe.

Not sure how much those tokens will be worth so do consider the gas fees needed to claim and move those airdrop tokens before you decide to expect them (in this light, Binance might be a better option if you don't have many Eths)

For us Cubbers or PolyCubbers, there are some farms involved with Eth, so you might want to evaluate if you want to leave the farm for a while or just keep the way it is. :)

Here is a count down clock. But again, nothing is sure before it really happens.

Cheers, Hodlers. Hope you enjoy your airdrops!

Thanks for information, I am one of those who still does not believe that the merge will happen this month. The dates of the Ethereum roadmap have already been postponed in the past

I know that POS in this case means "Proof of Stake." And it can also mean "Point of Sale." But my 7 year old brain still says "Piece of Shit" every time I see POS. And compared to POW, yes POS is a piece of shit. It's science. Just ask Mr. Satoshi. No, I'm not a Bitcoin maxi, but I think POS will prove to be disastrous.

PoS, we see how well it is governing EOS, Hive, Steemit and the rest. Good luck to us all.
