Ethereum 2.0: Proof of Stake will be tested in Testnet

the Ethereum has reached on the way to Etherum 2.0 a new milestone. In the Testnet "Prysm" of Prysm Labs to be tested Recently, the scaling technology Sharding, as well as the Consensus via Proof of Stake.

Ethereum adopted slowly but surely by the Consensus via Proof-of-Work-method. Recently it was announced that the code base for the Transition from Ethereum Proof-of-Stake-based Ethereum 2.0 (eth2) is almost completed. Now, the Ethereum developers of Prysmatic Labs launched a first implementation of eth2 in your own Testnet. The Prysm-Labs-co-founder Preston Van Loon on 7. May Medium known:

It is here, it's here, it's here! In the last few months we have been preparing intensively every day, worked to make the Community a public Testnet is for the Proof-of-Stake Beacon Chain of Ethereum 2.0. We have it, it is live, and you can shake a stake at! This is a non-trivial, critical step to bring this technology to the next level, and we need you to participate.

Runs: Staking and Sharing

The Testnet gives you an impression of where the journey for Ethereum goes without to already have all the for Ethereum 2.0 planned Features implemented. What already works, for example, is the Staking. Those who want to try yourself as a Validator, you must want to 3,2 Ether from the Görli-Testnet (GÖETH). Proof-of-Stake is to give Ethereum a better scalability. They want to reach the developers, especially in the Interaction of the PoS and the Sharding technology. The latter comes at Prysm in a reduced, but functional Form.

if you want to make a picture of the Ethereum 2.0 Client Prysm velvet Sharding and Casper Proof of Stake, you must install a Client for the Beacon Chain, as well as a Validator Client.

is not Running: EVM and Smart Contracts

Van Loon stresses in the Medium of the Post, is that the Testnet is not a pure virtual Simulation.

The test network is accessible to the public and NOT a Simulation. We provide a Cloud-clusters of nodes participating in the consensus, but everyone can participate in it, to maintain the network alive.

Furthermore, the Testnet is supported so far, neither Smart Contracts, it is still able to have a very large number of validators. The current test network, I have only "enable the task to manage a registry of validators, Casper, Proof of Stake and a Blockchain" – after all.
