An Ethereum 2.0 developer predicts the protocol’s deposit contract will be released in a matter of days, and that ETH 2.0 staking will go live this year.
In a post announcing the launch of ‘V1.0.0 release candidate 0’, Edgington revealed the protocol’s deposit contract address feature should be announced this week. The deposit contract allows ETH to be sent between Ethereum and ETH 2.0, and is one of the few remaining updates needed to facilitate the roll-out of ETH 2.0 phase 0.
However, the PegaSys engineering group developer emphasized his prediction “is not an official statement.”
According to Edgington, the new release also strengthens Ethereum against denial-of-service attacks, implements the genesis delay and a temporary quadrupling of penalty fees.
