Hi @Genesis3800! I hope your day is going well. I would like to write about this. Please let me know if I should proceed with it. Thanks

Hey @dpkreativ , I am doing well, thanks a lot. We loved your first article with us, but we have only just published an article on the Merge on our blog and are not looking to add any more articles on Ethereum's consensus model. Please feel free to submit more proposals as you see fit.

That's fine. Thank you.
