Merge Data Challenge is live!

Getting ready for the imminent Merge, the Merge Data Challenge is now live! In terms of complexity, the Merge is the most complex upgrade to Ethereum to date, and potentially to any other public blockchain network in history. Researchers, developers, and community members must collect tons of data, visualize data, writing tools, and explain the interworkings of the post-Merge network for better understanding.
