Ethereum completed the long-awaited transition from being a blockchain validated by a proof-of-work consensus mechanism—like the one currently employed by Bitcoin, in which miners with the most computing power generate the most coins—to a much more energy-efficient proof-of-stake algorithm—where miners who stake the most ETH validate the most transactions, and reap the rewards.

cryptocurrencies in the top 20 enjoyed big rallies, and one of them may come as a surprise to many: Litecoin (LTC) blew up 15% in the past week to over $60, while Polygon’s MATIC surged 11% and currently trades for around $0.90. Polygon’s blistering rally came amid adoption news from trading app Robinhood and social media giant Meta.
