With Ethereum’s (ETH) famous Merge just a few days away, KuCoin is also looking to contribute. The People’s Exchange has announced the launch of an exciting event dedicated only to KuCoin users: ETH Merge Prophet.

The Merge represents Ethereum’s major upgrade, as it will mark the very end of the proof-of-work Ethereum we know today and give birth to Ethereum 2.0 — the version that will be based on a proof-of-stake consensus algorithm. As a result, the Ethereum network is highly scalable, secure, and stable. This is expected to be a watershed moment in the Ethereum ecosystem’s development.

As it is known, Ethereum Classic (ETC) is simply the first version of Ethereum. Ethereum and Ethereum Classic both originated from the same blockchain but following the hard fork, several differences between Ethereum and Ethereum Classic emerged. According to cryptoguide, the major difference between Ethereum Classic (ETC) and Ethereum (ETH) is that ETC is a speculative digital asset with a fixed supply. Whereas ETH is the more popular and accepted version that is widely traded, with no fixed supply.
