<a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> 2.0 is a next-generation platform that solves some of the problems faced by the current platform. As mining energy consumption and trading demand increase, <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> faces rising gas prices and scalability issues. To address these issues, the <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> development team spent several years working on upgrades.

Last year, <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> conducted a large-scale upgrade called the "Merge." In April of this year, the "Shanghai" block is planned to start upgrading, as well as the sharding upgrade before 2024.

Given this, <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> can eliminate the energy consumption required for mining, implement sharding to shard trading data, and increase the trading speed from 15 transactions per second to a theoretical 100,000 transactions. In addition, it will "burn" tokens and introduce a deflationary mechanism to improve the value and utility of tokens.

Based on the upgrades before 2024, <a href="/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> will become a powerful platform with the advantages of high-speed processing and mining environments. There is no doubt that this will have a significant impact on the market.
