期待已久的以太坊向权益证明 (PoS) 的过渡一再推迟。据最新报道，日期终于定在了今年8月。以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 最近出席了ETH 上海 Web 3.0 开发者峰会。
在那个特定事件中，他提到 PoS 过渡计划于下个月 6 月 8 日在以太坊的测试网 Ropsten 上线。
以太坊网络的核心开发人员 Preston Van Loon 在 Permissionless 会议上也表示，如果一切按计划进行，称为 The Merge 的过渡将在 8 月发生。
Vitalik Buterin 在以太坊峰会上表示，
这将是一项重大测试，比我们之前做过的任何测试都要大
Van Loon 在 Permissionless 会议中提到，
据我们所知，如果一切都按计划进行，八月——这才有意义。如果我们不必移动（难度炸弹），让我们尽快移动。
Vitalik Buterin 已确认合并将在今年 8 月全部发生。他还特别强调了延迟方面。
他引用，
但是，当然，总会有出现问题的风险。还有延误的风险。所以九月是可能的，十月也是可能的。
以太坊研究人员还通过了有关延迟可能性的相应声明。 Justin Drake 提到团队正在确保合并按照时间表进行，因为它位于优先级列表的首位。
他还强调“强烈希望在 8 月的难度炸弹之前实现这一目标。” “难度炸弹”是指编码到以太坊区块链中的程序。该程序旨在减慢网络速度，旨在鼓励转向 PoS 共识。
该代码的作用是，一旦合并发生，矿工就很难操作工作量证明 (PoW) 共识机制。
