What to expect after the Ethereum merge

ETH holders have several expectations after the Merge. Many expect lower gas fees and faster transaction speeds as part of the advantages of the Merge; however, here are some tweets that highlight what ETH holders should expect after The Merge. 

ETH coin stakers will not be able to withdraw their tokens for 6 months to 12 months after Merge. ETH token stakers will have to wait for the Shanghai Upgrade, allowing up to 40,000 ETH tokens to be withdrawn daily. 

Similarly, the Merge does not intend to affect the ecosystem’s gas fees. Ethereum token holders will not experience a reduction in gas fees since the Merge does not expand the network’s capacity.

Finally, ETH holders should not expect to experience reduced transaction speeds on the network. The average ETH user will barely notice a change.
