Ethereum 2.0 will not be deployed in July, according to its developers

Ethereum 2.0 represents a pivotal update for the Ethereum ecosystem, as it will initiate the transition to proof of stake . Originally scheduled for July 2020, the update may not be released until 2021.

The oupsi of Vitalik

Interviewed in the “Consensus: Distributed” virtual forum hosted by CoinDesk, Vitalik Buterin did what we can call a blunder. The latter announced to be confident for a deployment of phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0 in July , as already announced by developer Justin Drake in February .

Unfortunately for him, his colleagues working on Ethereum 2.0 are not entirely of the same opinion .

This is particularly the case of Afri Schoedon , the coordinator of the ETH 2.0 tests, who said on Twitter :

“The final specification has not been implemented by any customer and we have not yet launched a coordinated testnet.”

To which Vitalik replied , not having heard the term “July” in the question and subsequently contacted CoinDesk to clarify his thoughts:

“I listened to the interview again. The question indeed contained “July”, I don't remember hearing “July”, so it seems that it was my fault if I heard wrong. I am sorry for that. " He corrected.

What date for Ethereum 2.0?

After these various exchanges, a question remains: what will be the date of the launch of Ethereum 2.0?

According to Afri Scheodon, a deployment for the end of 2020 could be achievable if no unexpected event happened. He would not be surprised if phase 0 was not deployed until the beginning of 2021 .

Second statement by Afri Schoedon. Source .

In his details sent to CoinDesk, Vitalik talks about a deployment in the 3rd quarter of 2020 :

“My current position is that eth2 is“ on the right track ”, in the sense that there are no unexpected obstacles on the road, that the test nets arrive, etc. But I defer to the developers of the clients regarding the delays and if they now say “Q3”, then I believe them, ” he said.

We will now have to wait for the progress of the current testnets, such as Topaz and Schlesi , to define more clearly a launch date.

Far from wanting to cause Ethereum users to wait without reason, successive postponements of the launch of Ethereum 2.0 have so far been inevitable to ensure network security and a smooth launch. Once again, we will have to be patient!
