After rather chaotic previous years, Ethereum (ETH) exceeded many expectations in 2020. Not only the decentralized finance sector (DeFi), but also the non-fungible token market (NFT) recorded enormous growth. In addition, the first phase of the long-awaited Ethereum 2.0 upgrade began. We take a look at the most burning topics and review 2020.The wait is finally over. Ethereum 2.0 has become a bit of a reality in 2020 and on December 1, the long-awaited upgrade by the community started in the first phase. As planned, the mainnet went live successfully at the first attempt and there were no major complications. On the contrary, the rush to the ETH-deposit contract, which makes the Punting ether possible was overwhelming.Currently, over $ 1.2 billion worth of ethers are staked. Put simply, by staking, investors help secure the Ethereum network and receive an ETH return in return. However, it is not yet clear how long ethers will be bound in the so-called deposit contract \u2014 possibly years. The enormous amount of Ether that is already staked is a good demonstration of how optimistic many investors are about the future of the smart contract platform.One of the most important functions of Ethereum 2.0 is known as \u201csharding.\u201d \u201cSharding\u201d allows transactions to be processed at the same time, which is intended to take the current speed of the Ethereum network to the next level. This will make it possible for developers of decentralized applications (dApp) to develop cheaper, more complex and more user-friendly dApps. Solving the scaling problem could therefore help emerging sectors like DeFi and the NFT space to innovate, and some of the most pressing problems that have plagued ETH for a long time may finally be solvable. In addition, completely new sectors could emerge, for which it did not make sense to build\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
