ETH 2.0 Update - April 7, 2020
  • Prysmatic Labs will be re-starting the Sapphire testnet during the week of 04/06/20 to match the latest specification for ETH2, with no further consensus breaking changes.
  • The new version of the testnet, v0.11.1, will serve as the multi-client testnet target.
  • Once this multi-client testnet is stable, Prysmatic, Lighthouse and Teku (fka Artemis from the Pegasys team) will be coordinating a restart of the v0.11.1 testnet from genesis to simulate a mainnet launch.
  • The ETH2 beacon chain mainnet is expected to launch in ~ July 2020, or 2 - 3 months after the multi-client testnet launch in April 2020.
