Watching the impressive performance of Ether in the past 30 days, a Cointelegram news mentioned, "Ether bull run was driven by the Merge expectation, a transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus network. Goerli was the last remaining Ethereum test net scheduled to implement the Merge, which officially became a proof-of-stake blockchain as of 1:45 UTC on August 11. This final hurdle was completed with no major setbacks, giving a green light for the mainnet transition on September 15 or 16. There is a rationale behind investors' booming expectations toward this major landmark transition. Such a multiphased upgrade aims for higher scalability and extremely low fees due to sharding, the parallel processing mechanism. However, the only change in the Merge is the complete removal of the burdensome mining mechanism."
