+## 3.5.0 - 2021-09-24
+
+### Experimental Merge/PoS Support
+
+This release comes with experimental support for the Merge HF as defined in [EIP-3675](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-3675) respectively support for creating PoS compatible `Block` objects (from an Eth 1.0 perspective).
+
+#### PoS Block Instantiation
+
+Proof-of-Stake compatible execution blocks come with its own set of header field simplifications and associated validation rules. The difficuly is set to `0` since not relevant any more, just to name an example. For a full list of changes see `EIP-3675`.
+
+You can instantiate a Merge/PoS block like this:
+
+```typescript
+import { Block } from '@ethereumjs/block'
+import Common, { Chain, Hardfork } from '@ethereumjs/common'
+const common = new Common({ chain: Chain.Mainnet, hardfork: Hardfork.Merge, })
+const block = Block.fromBlockData({
+  // Provide your block data here or use default values
+}, { common })
+```
+
+See: PR [#1393](https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/pull/1393) and PR [#1408](https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/pull/1393)
+
+#### Set Hardfork by Total Difficulty
+
+There is a new `hardforkByTD` option which expands the current `hardforkByBlockNumber` option and allows for setting the hardfork either by total difficulty or a `Common`-matching block number. The supportive functionality within the `Common` library has been introduced along the `v2.5.0` release.
+
+See. PR [#1473](https://github.com/ethereumjs/ethereumjs-monorepo/pull/1473)

 This `Block` release comes with full functional support for the `london` hardfork (all EIPs are finalized and integrated and `london` HF can be activated, there are no final block numbers for the HF integrated though yet). Please note that the default HF is still set to `istanbul`. You therefore need to explicitly set the `hardfork` parameter for instantiating a `Common` instance with a `london` HF activated:
 
 ```typescript

-# 5.4.0 - 2021-07-08
+### Experimental Casper/PoS and Merge Support
+
+This release adds first experimental Casper/PoS respectively Merge HF support by allowing to build a blockchain which switches to Casper/PoS consensus validation at some point triggered by a merge HF occured. The `Blockchain` library now allows for taking in the respective Casper/PoS conforming blocks (see `@ethereumjs/block` release v3.5.0), do the correct validations and set the HF accordingly (Merge HF-related logic and a new PoS consensus type have been added to the `Common` library along the v2.5.0 release).
