  As for the issuance rate, it has significantly decreased since the merge. In the PoW era, the issuance rate was around 4-5 ETH per block. With the transition to PoS, the issuance rate has decreased to around 0.22 ETH per block. This reduction in the issuance rate is part of the Ethereum community's efforts to control inflation and ensure the long-term sustainability of the network. By reducing the rate at which new ETH is created, Ethereum aims to maintain a healthy balance between supply and demand, which can contribute to the overall stability and value of the cryptocurrency.
