On May 11 and May 12, the Beacon chain, the consensus layer of the Ethereum network, was unable to reach finality on two occasions. The first occurrence lasted for 25 minutes, and the second for over an hour.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Although the exact cause of such an incident is yet unknown, it is worth stating that this network glitch had no impact on on-chain activity and transactions were still processed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>Ethereum Developers Roll Out Network Patches To Tackle Finality Challenge\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>In response to the past week, Ethereum developers have released patches to provide a solution for network users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>According to a tweet by Beacom Chain community health analyst superphiz, Teku and Prysm, two of Ethereum&#8217;s constitutional clients, have implemented these fixes, which will help prevent further finality issues on the Beacon chain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>We can start putting this loss of finality issue behind us, @Teku_ConsenSys and @prylabs have deployed fixes that will prevent the attestation flooding.

However, they provided assurances that the upgrades implemented by Teku and Prsym would help avoid future occurrences via optimizations that will prevent beacon nodes from high resource usage during these situations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>ETH Total Supply Declines Following The Merge\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>In other news, Ethereum\u2019s total supply decreased in the months after The Merge.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On September 15, 2022, The Merge occurred in which the Ethereum network fully transitioned from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), leading to Ethereum 2.0.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In the 241 days after this historical event, data from the Ethereum supply analytics platform, ultrasound.money shows that ETH&#8217;s total supply has declined by 0.29%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-5-860x226.png\"><\/p>\n<p>Source: ultrasound.money<\/p>\n<p><span>Since The Merge, over 653,000 ETH has been burned compared to the 425,000 ETH that has been minted in the last eight months resulting in a net negative change of about -227,000 ETH.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Interestingly, ultrasound.money predicts the total ETH supply to have increased at a rate of 3.244% per year had The Merge not occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That said, if this deflationary trend continues, it would mean good news for long-term ETH investors.
