They also asked developers to check out the details about the Merge on the Ethereum website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apart from OpenSea, Chainlink also expressed its commitment to the PoS transition of the Ethereum mainnet. The team pointed out that the protocol will not be supporting any Ethereum forks that may come after the Merge. The team also assured its community that it\u2019s doing its best to prepare for any issues that may come during the transition.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Ethereum Merge in trouble? Developers find bugs ahead of the planned update<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a recent Cointelegraph interview, economist Lex Sokolin highlighted that the economic design changes post Merge may affect Ether (ETH) price. The economist believes that the changes within the protocol have natural implications on the supply of ETH. Despite this, the economist recognized that nothing is certain yet and that the market will be the one to decide any movements in the token\u2019s price.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the native asset for the potential ETHPoW fork that may potentially be backed by Ethereum\u2019s PoW miners is trading at $100 despite not yet existing. This happened after some exchanges started to list ETHW and ETHPoS (ETHS) on their trading platforms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/cointelegraph.com\/news\/opensea-says-marketplace-won-t-support-forked-nfts-post-merge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the date for the Ethereum Merge<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":163026,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
