Google now displays a countdown clock on searching ‘Ethereum Merge’

Google has added a countdown clock displaying the number of hours left for Ethereum Merge to occur. The Merge is an event that aims to switch Ethereum’s network from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) algorithm. It is all set to change the working of the blockchain, with the aim to make the Ethereum blockchain less energy intensive.

According to Google Trends, Singapore, Cyrus, China, Switzerland and Netherlands are the nations with the greatest interest in Ethereum Merge, since the last seven days.

The Merge will take place on September 15. For context, Blockchain heavily relies on validators (crypto miners) to verify each transaction that occurs on the blockchain.
