Years of waiting and announcements for the activation of the new Ethereum 2.0 pay off today with the arrival of the Beacon Chain network. This Tuesday is the first step in a long journey that will serve to migrate the consensus type from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS).The so-called phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0 or \u201cSerenity\u201d will serve to store and manage the registry of all validator nodes. The launch date was confirmed last week after 100% of the ethers (ETH) required for activation were completed.In total, at least 524,288 ETH was needed in the corresponding smart contract. The figure was exceeded and at the time of publishing this article, the total of funds committed was already 879,800 ETH. To be a validator in the new Ethereum 2.0, the operator must transfer 32 ETH and stay connected to avoid penalties. From the above, it can be inferred that there are already about 27,500 validator nodes.After the activation and creation of the genesis block in the Beacon Chain, a curious event occurred. The proponent of the first block, after the genesis, left a message that reads: \u201cMr F was here\u201d (Mr. F was here). What happened was commented on by developer Vitalik Buterin, who was ironic about the message spread.The Beacon Chain will work in parallel with the current Ethereum blockchain to ensure that there is no information disruption. The tests and evaluations were carried out on the Medalla network, a project developed by the Ethereum Foundation, ConsenSys, and Deep Work Studio.Ethereum 2.0 will have two major differences from the current network. The first is the change in its consensus mechanism from computing power and electrical energy (PoW), to one based on software and capital.This change is based on validators and ETH deposits.
