Ethereum 2.0 is the next level of blockchain technology and cryptography. The upgrades are meant to make Ethereum more secure, scalable and sustainable.
Ethereum-based permissioned blockchain variants are used and being investigated for various projects: In 2017, JPMorgan Chase proposed developing JPM Coin on a permissioned-variant of Ethereum blockchain dubbed "Quorum". [87] It is "designed to toe the line between private and public in the realm of shuffling derivatives and payments.

The Ethereum Foundation applied their trademark to the new, altered version of the Ethereum blockchain. [2] The older, unaltered version of Ethereum was renamed and continued on as Ethereum Classic. [2] Ethereum Classic's native Ether token is a cryptocurrency traded on digital currency exchanges under the currency code ETC. [3]
By the time of block completion, the included data becomes verifiable. In cryptocurrency, this is practically when the transaction takes place, so a shorter block time means faster transactions. The block time for Ethereum is set to between 14 and 15 seconds, while for bitcoin it is on average 10 minutes. [34]
A visual representation of Chainlink's "smart bond architecture" Chainlink's decentralized oracle network is an open-source technology infrastructure that allows any blockchain to securely connect to off-chain data and computation resources.
The reward distributed to ETH stakers depends on the total number of coins staked and the number of validators on the network.
On 15 September 2022, the world's second largest cryptocurrency at that time, Ethereum, transitioned its consensus mechanism from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) in an upgrade process known as "the Merge". According to the Ethereum Founder, the upgrade would cut both Ethereum's energy use and carbon-dioxide emissions by 99.9%. [28]
