Ethereum will have the most important update in its historywhich is scheduled to occur around 5:27 am UTC on September 15.
Those who want to see the Ethereum network make its historic switch to proof-of-stake (PoS) in real time will be spoiled for choice.
The Ethereum Foundation has scheduled a live broadcast of the Ethereum mainnet meltdown on YouTube around 4:00 am UTC, about an hour and a half before the estimated time of the merger.
The Merge will take place when the network reaches a total terminal difficulty of 5875000000000000000000, after which the next block produced will be made via a PoS mechanism.
Among the scheduled guests for the Ethereum Foundation livestream there are the Ethereum Cat Herders and the content creators of Bankless and The Daily Gwei.
The description also hints at other “notable guests,” which could include Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and The Daily Gwei founder Anthony Sassano.who have participated in live broadcasts for test networks in the past.
According to the YouTube description, viewers who join two hours before the Fusion will be able to “participate in a POAP art canvas.”
