Learn about the Ethereum merge and how it affects the Nahmii ecosystem.
What is the merge again?
The Ethereum merge successfully took place earlier today on 15th September 2022. The merge is the next step in Ethereum’s evolution, and it has seen an existing execution layer merged with recently deployed consensus mechanism (the Beacon Chain). This creates a mainnet platform secured by proof-of-stake while still maintaining the original Ethereum state.

How does the merge affect Nahmii?
The Nahmii protocol won’t experience any downtime as the nodes will sync and read data from the post merge chain. Your funds will continue to be safe on Nahmii.
The merge will further strengthen Nahmii commitment to low carbon footprint as most emissions are resultant of the activities on the PoW network.
Nahmii will support the Proof of Stake chain. We are not supporting Proof of Work and do not plan to at this time. However, we will be sure to take a snapshot of N2 balances around the time of the merge, in case plans change in the future.
We do not anticipate any downtime or impact on the Nahmii Bridge during or after the merge. The change to modularity of chains also won’t lead to changes or impact on the Nahmii platform. Nahmii will not be running an ETH consensus layer node for the protocol as we are currently using Infura for our nodes and have run our own in the past.
