Various renovation work is currently underway on the Ethereum network under the Serenity upgrade. Higher, faster, further: That is the goal of Ethereum 2.0. Until then, the crypto space will have to be patient.Hardly any other blockchain project is expected with as much anticipation as Ethereum 2.0. The switch to the proof-of-stake consensus procedure promises to finally solve the scaling problems of Ethereum and to make the vision of a world computer a reality. With phase 0, the first development phase has already started successfully. Ether enthusiasts will still have to be patient until Ethereum 2.0 is finalized.The most far-reaching turning point in the transition to Ethereum 2.0 is the switch from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake. In contrast to the proof of work, it is no longer miners but validators, also known as stakers, that secure the network. For this purpose, validators first deposit a stake of 32 ETH, in Ethereum jargon \u201cStake\u201d. This gives them the right to process transactions and create new blocks.The stake serves both as an investment and as security. If validators do not adhere to the rules, they will be penalized by the algorithm and lose their work. In return, honest validators receive returns on their stake. The more validators ultimately participate in the network, the more decentralized and more secure it will be against attacks.The new consensus procedure is currently being tested in phase 0 of the major 2.0 upgrade on the Beacon Chain, a kind of sandbox environment that runs parallel to the Ethereum mainchain. With currently over 66,000 validators, who, according to beacon chain, have already staked 2,132,132 ethers, the equivalent of more than 2.7 billion US dollars, the staking process is already meeting with brisk demand. Almost 20,000 validators are also still on the waiting list.The carrot-and-stick practice\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
