I've heard about Ethereum 2.0 and I'm wondering if it uses a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. I know that Ethereum 1.0 used proof-of-work, but I'm not sure if the upgrade to 2.0 included a switch to proof-of-stake. Can someone confirm this for me?

The Ethereum 2.0 merge refers to the transition of Ethereum's consensus mechanism from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS). This upgrade, also known as 'The Merge', aims to improve Ethereum's sustainability, security, and scalability by integrating the existing Ethereum mainnet with the Beacon Chain, its new PoS consensus layer.
