At that point, it will be known as &#8220;Consensus Layer&#8221; and is expected to occur in August this year. <\/p>\n<p>Testing on several testnets has been focused on ensuring there are no cross-client issues or that existing applications don\u2019t entirely break after the Merge. Beiko pointed out in a separate <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> thread that such problems are likely to be rare because \u201c99% of changes affect the protocol layer,\u201d while \u201cthere are almost no changes done to the application layer.\u201d <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A few thoughts on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TestingTheMerge?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TestingTheMerge<\/a>: <\/p>\n<p>1. Protocol layer testing != application level testing. Client + protocol testing teams focus mostly on changes to the protocol not causing cross-client issues or breaking existing applications.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tim Beiko | timbeiko.eth  (@TimBeiko) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TimBeiko\/status\/1528866058022494208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 23, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Beiko stated that developers should be aware there will be two significant changes to how smart contracts work with the Merge. First, he reminded them that the method for beacon randomness, which helps run applications, will change. This will be necessary for the switch to PoS, and was published in an Ethereum Foundation (EF) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.ethereum.org\/2021\/11\/29\/how-the-merge-impacts-app-layer\/\">update<\/a> last November.<\/p>\n<p>The second change will be that block times will shorten from 13 seconds per block to 12. As a result of this change, smart contracts that use block production speed as a measure of time will run one second faster after the Merge takes place. <\/p>\n<p>Beiko showed an air of confidence that despite the delays in executing the Merge, potential problems have been consolidated into a single echelon.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAside from cross-client testing and these two edge cases, the biggest risk of disruption is in \u201ctooling and infra pipelines\u201d.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He concluded by assuring if any other issues arise during the thorough testing and shadow forks taking place, the Merge would be further delayed to ensure the security of the network.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAt any point, if we find issues, we\u2019ll obviously take the time to fix + address them before moving forward. Only then will we think about moving mainnet to proof of stake.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>ETH investors who are worried about coins being unlocked and dumped when the Merge takes place can rest easy. DeFi educator Korpi on Twitter <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/korpi87\/status\/1528704451892023296\">explained<\/a> on May 23 that the ETH staked on the Beacon Chain now cannot be unlocked without a later upgrade to the network once the Merge takes place.
