The Ethereum network has been on a years-long path to switch its energy-hungry proof-of-work blockchain to a more efficient proof-of-stake system, and now its developers are suggesting a date to make the switch. It\u2019s not final yet, but on a call streamed<\/a> via the Ethereum Foundation\u2019s YouTube page, they decided to submit this pull request<\/a> proposing to make the change when the network reaches a specific difficulty mark, which should occur on September 15th or 16th. <\/p>\n

Dubbed Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD), it specifies the mining of a particular block where the old network ends and the new one begins at 58750000000000000000000.<\/p>\n
