Crypto Industry News:

According to the information on the websites, the first part of the new version of ETH based on proof-of-stake (PoS) was launched several hours ago. So officially Ethereum 2.0 has already been launched. This is a milestone not only for the Ethereum project itself, but also for the entire cryptocurrency community.

Yesterday's premiere ends the opening act, or "Phase 0", of the transition of the Ethereum consensus mechanism, under which the network - whose native cryptocurrency, Ether, worth $ 70 billion by market capitalization - will fundamentally change the way payments are settled.

The Beacon Chain will be the backbone of the new Ethereum blockchain, a network that is expected to keep pace with PayPal and Visa in terms of transaction processing speed while competing with them for payment transparency.

Ethereum 2.0 has at least two technical hurdles to achieve its ever-changing timeline: dynamically splitting the Ethereum PoS chain into multiple datasets called "shards" and implementing Rollups, a bandwidth solution for decentralized applications (dapps).
