According to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, the Ethereum 2.0 team may launch a multi-client testnet in April.

The ETH 2.0 specification recently underwent an audit by tech security firm Least Authority, which highlighted the protocol's P2P messaging system and block proposer system as two potential security flaws.

Buterin said the ETH 2.0 team is currently working to fix these issues, although this may require a long-term effort rather than an immediate revision.

Security flaws of ETH 2.0

According to Buterin, the problem also exists in the existing ETH 1.0 framework and will be alleviated over time. He hopes that ETH 2.0 will do the same.

He added:

Buterin said:

“Overall, we are definitely taking network security anti-spam seriously. Eth 1.0 has taken some time to harden its network layer, there is a lot of focus on network issues at the moment, so I expect that over time, the DoS issue will will be alleviated."

“Regarding BAR resilience, I hope the approach we will take is to assume altruism from the beginning and then build better incentive properties over time; the eth 1.0 network is also moving in this direction.”

The second security flaw identified in the report involves a potential information leak in ETH 2.0’s block proposer system.

Buterin claimed that the team is seriously considering the suggestion that the Least Authority use the Single Secret Leader Election (SSLE) mechanism to obscure the election process. In fact, SSLE is one of the team's current main research priorities and has been included in the ETH 2.0 5-10 year roadmap proposed by Buterin. According to the roadmap, the SSLE system will be implemented in ETH 2.0 Phase 2 or later.
