The history of ethereum merge

Originally, the Beacon chain was sent separately from the Mainnet, the chain we use today. The Ethereum Mainnet continues to be PoW, while the Beacon chain runs in parallel with PoS. The Ethereum Merge or Update is where these two systems eventually meet. Think of Ethereum as a spaceship that is not quite ready for interstellar travel. With the Beacon chain, the community has developed a new engine and a robust body.
This marks the end of proof of work for Ethereum and the beginning of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly Ethereum era. At this point, Ethereum will be one step closer to achieving the full scalability, security, and stability mentioned in its vision. It is important to note that the implementation of Ethereum Marj aims for simplicity to accelerate the transition from PoW to POS. The developers are focusing their efforts on this transition and minimizing additional features that could delay this goal. This means that some features, such as the ability to withdraw ETH, will require a longer wait for shareholders after the transaction is complete.

The number of blocks distributed in the course of a day was 6k before the Ethereum merger, but after the merger this number reached 7k and has continued to increase.
The transactions of this network were about 1m before the merger, and only at the beginning of the Ethereum merger they reached 1.3m and then returned to the initial state of 1m.
The number of unique miners was 50 before the merger, but after the merger and the switch to PoS, it has reached 500.
The average difficulty for each block shows that nothing was recorded after the merger, but a grade was set for it before the merger.

The number of swap transactions has not changed before and after the integration of this network and the same situation has continued.
The volume of transactions for swapping is as described in this chart, before the merger this volume was recorded up to 2B, but after the merger this figure was recorded at 1.3B and then it was accompanied by a downward trend, after which in the story On September 21 this amount reached 1.4B and started a downward trend again.
As you can see, the chart of individual marketers before and after the merger did not change and has the same normal trend.

In these two charts we want to check the number of sales of NFTs. As you can see, the highest amount before the merger was in opensea with 20k sales, and after the merger it recorded the same number of sales.
In the buying chart, the highest value is associated with opensea, which was considered the largest source of buying and selling NFTs. In the previous chart, it had the largest selling volume of NFTs, and only a small part was held by the other platforms, but this chart is also clear. which was the largest buying volume of NFTs in opensea, as on September 12, when 20K NFTs were bought, and on September 18, after the merger, 22K NFTs were bought, which shows that the impact of the merger on NFTs was low, but on September 19, there was a 50% decrease in buying and selling We are witnessing
