CoinGecko Turns 9! Celebrate our 9th Anniversary with us and memorialize this event with a POAP.

The Ethereum Mainnet merged with the Beacon Chain proof-of-stake network on September 15, 2022. This marks the end of proof-of-work for Ethereum and a full transition to proof-of-stake. This historic upgrade is projected to reduce the Ethereum network's energy consumption by over 99% and sets the stage for future upgrades to further scale the Ethereum network. Holders of this POAP were there to witness the Ethereum Mainnet Merge with the rest of the community and signaled their support to the core developers of this enormous undertaking by sending roughly $10 of ETH to the Protocol DAO, directly funding protocol contributors. Special thanks to all of the client teams, researchers and core developers of the Ethereum Protocol, and to community leaders The Daily Gwei, Bankless, Ethereum Cat Herders, The Ethereum Foundation and EthStaker for their support in preparing the world for this moment. -https://thedailygwei.substack.com/ -https://newsletter.banklesshq.com/ -https://www.ethereumcatherders.com/ -https://ethereum.org/en/ -https://ethstaker.cc/

This POAP celebrates 100 issues of the "What's New in Eth2" newsletter, developed by Ben Edgington and found at https://eth2.news. The POAP image is designed by sleety.eth (with Ben's iconic PFP). This POAP is distributed through poap-checkout with all proceeds going to Lefteris Karapetsas' Berlin marathon fundraising event for kids with heart disease. Ben's contributions to Ethereum will always be valued, and he's moving on to focus on his book, "Upgrading Ethereum", found at https://eth2book.info/altair/

This POAP celebrates the contributions of https://bordel.wtf to all of our shared anticipation as we move closer to the merge. Bordel.wtf is developed by Mario Havel (https://twitter.com/TMIYChao) through the Ethereum Foundation as a way to track Total Terminal Difficulty (TTD) as we near the merge. Bordel.wtf has become an indispensable tool for anyone who is looking forward to the merge. Funds raised from this POAP through poap-checkout will support the Bordel Hackerspace in Prague (https://bordel.paralelnipolis.cz). The image for this POAP was developed by veryunimportantperson#6806@discord through poapathon.com.
