- The Beacon Chain and the Ethereum mainnet are expected to unite.
- Crypto whales have moved hundreds of millions of dollars of ETH dollars overnight.
Since the year 2020, the Ethereum network has grown rapidly. Post-Beacon development, the network’s validators saw a surge in numbers that had never been seen before. At the time of this writing, there were over 350k validators. At the beginning of 2021, there were less than 50,000 validators on the network, and the number has steadily increased since. It’s come a long way, for sure.
According to a recent CryptoQuant post, the staking rate of ETH has risen sharply over the last several weeks as inflows have surged. Nearly 11.06 million ETH had been staked as of this point. Additionally, thanks to the deposit contract, it was possible to transfer Ethereum from the mainnet to the Beacon Chain. This staked ETH is now worth an estimated $26 billion.
