The world’s second biggest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation just experienced a major upgrade that came into play on August 5, 2021. Now the Ethereum London Fork upgrade is live on the Ethereum Mainnet. The updates will see lower Ethereum gas fees, faster transaction speeds and lead to a less energy intensive ‘proof of stake’ consensus mechanism.
