Fast abstract: All in all of the merge went splendidly! At first there was a participation % drop from 99% to ~86%, however this was due to some minor bugs in Nimbus and Nethermind shoppers and the speed is again as much as 99% now. There was additionally a minor bug with some consumer pairs proposing empty blocks; this will probably be labored on within the coming weeks.
If you would like to take part in testing the merge, you might be inspired to ship transactions on Ropsten, use dapps, and try to run shoppers!
