Ethereum switched to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) on September 15. As a result of The Merge fork, the coin’s blockchain has become 99.9% energy efficient, which is what climate change fighters are actively seeking.
However, there are still networks in the crypto sphere that use PoW, including Bitcoin, Dogecoin and Zcash.
According to Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, the transition of the Dogecoin and Zcash networks to PoS will encourage other blockchains to change the algorithm.
He has emphasized:
“I hope Zcash comes over to our side. I also really hope that Dogecoin will switch to Proof-of-Stake at some point.”
The founder of Ethereum has expressed his position at a conference organized by the developers of the Messari platform.
