One of the most significant events in the blockchain space, the much-awaited Ethereum Merge of the Beacon chain or the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus chain has finally been completed successfully. The Merge was supposed to take place when the Terminal Total Difficulty (TTD) of 58,750,000,000,000,000,000,000 happened on September 15th, 06:45 AM GMT. The first block generated by the new PoS consensus model post the merge was finalized on-chain 12 seconds after.

This article is part of a two part series of how to build your own NFT project on the NEO N3 blockchain ecosystem in a language of your choice. I lay stress on “language of your choice” because the NEO blockchain offers this unique ability where instead of learning a new obscure language, you can bring your ideas to life in a language you are comfortable with, be it Java, C#, or Python. In the first part, we would look at it from a slightly theoretical perspective, understanding NFTs from a NEO perspective, understanding the NEP-11 protocol and some implementation considerations. In the second part, we would take the plunge and look at actual code and implementation specifics that will help you to get your first NFT project ready to be shipped.

The Bellatrix Upgrade for the Ethereum Beacon Chain \[PoS chain] was completed successfully at 11:34 AM UTC on the 6th of September, 2022. The upgrade was scheduled to happen at Epoch 144896 of the Beacon Chain. Note that in the Beacon chain epochs signify predictable time periods that are further sub-divided into slots. Contrast this with the PoW chain where the latest block height would signify a reasonably predictable time period. Before this upgrade, node operators are expected to update their clients to the latest version to be able to participate in the ecosystem during and after the Merge. Vitalik and other Ethereum leaders took to Twitter earlier to remind folks to upgrade their clients. Vitalik also re-confirmed the September 13-15 timeline for the Merge.

It also sets the stage for the next set of upgrades that pave the way for the platform to be used by millions and billions of users.

Today we will look at how to create a DAO in a very easy step-by-step manner using the Aragon platform. I really found it amazing how simple it was to get my DAO up and running in a matter of a few minutes. We are going to create the DAO on the Polygon blockchain since it is cost-efficient to create and operate on the Polygon blockchain.

Different blockchain consensus mechanisms

Blockchain is a decentralized network that comprises of network participants more commonly known as nodes. In order to ensure that all the participants agree on a common state of the network or the distributed ledger as well as what data is permitted into the network via blocks, there needs to be a defined mechanism that is real-time, efficient, secure, and fault-tolerant. This is what is known as the Blockchain consensus mechanism and is pretty much the core of a blockchain network.
