Phase 1 of the Merge kicks off on September 6

With the Bellatrix upgrade, the first phase of Ethereum (ETH) merge on the Beacon Chain will be launched soon.

The Ethereum blockchain is expected to switch to Proof of Stake (PoS) on September 15. The transition, known as a "merge," must first be activated on the Beacon Chain with the Bellatrix upgrade.

The Ethereum Foundation has now announced that this activation is most likely to take place on September 6 at 12:34:47 Netherlands time. Afterwards, with the final upgrade named Paris, the current Ethereum Poof of Work (PoW) blockchain will switch to Proof of Stake between September 10 and 20.
