Ahead of its software upgrade, Ethereum ‘Big Bounties’ makes a jump

With the intention of uncovering bugs in its code, Ethereum's Non-profit foundation is now quadrupling the rewards to any friendly hackers. The reason for such a shift is basically running on the amount of credibility they have on the crypto Giant's code.

Any critical issues flagged can be resolved immediately so as to avoid any snags during its so called "Merge" Between 10th and 20th September depending on the power of computing power supporting the network. Due to the volatile nature of its final shift from the last mined block, such a step is being undertaken.

Once the merge is completed, Ethereum will switch from using the powerful computer mining, also called miners, to a much more smooth and more sustainable technology that uses less energy, called Proof of stake.
