The merge is Ethereum's switch from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS)
PoW: Blockchain consensus is from miners verifying transactions
PoS: Consensus for the blockchain comes from staking validators locking up Ethereum
This transition will have a number of impacts
此次合并是以太坊从工作证明（PoW）向权益证明（PoS）的转变
PoW：区块链共识来自矿工验证交易
PoS：区块链的共识来自于锁定以太坊的立桩验证器
这一转变将产生许多影响
