A Look Back at the Golden Age of Ethereum PoW Mining: Miner Revenue and Historical Turning Points
Ethereum's proof-of-work (PoW) mining era officially ended with the "Merge" upgrade in September 2022, but prior to that, miners experienced a highly profitable period. Particularly during the DeFi boom of 2020-2021, high Gas fees led to a surge in miner revenue, with total revenue for 2021 approaching $19 billion. Although the implementation of EIP-1559 changed the fee mechanism, miners could still earn substantial profits through block rewards and priority fees. As the network transitioned to proof-of-stake (PoS), Ethereum miners faced a transformation, and the graphics card market was significantly impacted as a result.

Ethereum From PoW to PoS: The Key Milestones and Far-Reaching Impact of The Merge Upgrade
Ethereum On September 15, 2022, a major upgrade known as “The Merge” was successfully completed, marking a complete shift in the network’s consensus mechanism from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS). This transition was designed to significantly enhance the network’s energy efficiency, security, and sustainability, while laying the foundation for future scalability improvements.Following The Merge, Ethereum’s energy consumption plummeted by approximately 99.95%, and the issuance of ETH also decreased significantly. Subsequently, in April 2023, the Shapella upgrade enabled the withdrawal of staked ETH. While this upgrade sparked discussions regarding decentralization and censorship risks, it is widely regarded as a major milestone in the cryptocurrency space.
