The Ethereum merge is done
&gt; The Merge is one of the largest technological events in the industry to date.<p>I feel kinda ashamed. I work in the IT industry and I claim to have knowledge about (&quot;good&quot;) software engineering practices, distributed systems,  compilers, algorithms, etc. Nevertheless, I didn&#x27;t understand a word of what the article is saying. Could you recommend serious references (preferably books and not random blogs) I could read to catch up with what&#x27;s going on with crypto these days? I&#x27;m not planning to &quot;buy&quot; crypto; I would like to understand the technicalities.
