The EthereumMerge reduced global energy conservation, but could it threaten the viability and sustainability of a healthy Web3 ecosystem?
of Ethereum’s network is a significant accomplishment in the history of open-source software and Web3. For the most part, this transition from the more energy-intensive proof-of-work consensus mechanism to the less energy-intensive proof-of-stake has been celebrated for its increased sustainability.
Jeremy Epstein is the chief marketing officer of Radix, a layer 1 smart contract platform. You can follow him at @jer979 on Twitter. Atomic composability is a technical term for saying that any application on a network can frictionlessly interact with any other application. Ethereum is going to consciously break composability by segregating parts of its network from each other in the implementation of sharding or layer 2 systems.
Taking away one of these superpowers by walling off certain applications from each other through specific types of blockchain sharding or layer 2 implementations is like separating the bat from the plant it pollinates.
