Ethereum 2.0: developer Justin Drake launches in 2020

During an AMA session on Reddit, the developer Ethereum Justin Drake said he was "95% confident" that the phase 0 ofEthereum 2.0 would be launched this year.

While the blockchain Ethereum encountered scalability problems to accommodate large-scale applications, for several years, Ethereum developers focus on the development of a new version of the network including the use of Sharding and the mechanism Proof-of-Stake (PoS).

Planned initially for the 4th quarter of 2019 and then for the first quarter of 2020, the phase 0 of the update is now eagerly awaited by investors and participants in the network.

Yesterday on Reddit, as part of a session Ask Me Anything organized by the Ethereum foundation, a user requested more information about the new calendar for Ethereum 2.0.

If I understand correctly, we are talking about July 2020 at the moment. If phase 0 does not start in 2020, would you consider this a failure?, ”He wrote.

Justin Drake, a developer close to Vitalik Buterin, the co-creator of Ethereum, responded that Eth 2.0 would go into production when the user interface for depots and network clients were operational.

I hope we can launch the July 30, 2020 (the 5th anniversary of Ethereum 1.0). We are unlikely to launch in the first or second quarter of 2020. Yes it would be a failure but I am 95% confident that we will launch in 2020 :), ”he added.

Last month, the hardfork Muir Glacier was activated when switching to block number 9 200 000 of the blockchain Ethereum.
