74% of Ethereum nodes ‘Merge ready’ ahead of Bellatrix upgrade

As many as 73.5% of nodes are now marked as “Merge ready” ahead of the upcoming Bellatrix upgrade for Ethereum on Tuesday, according to data from Ethernodes.

The Bellatrix upgrade is seen as one of the last necessary steps prior to the official Merge, which will see Ethereum transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism between Sept. 10-20.
