announcement

Zhong said that just two years ago, they started their journey to implement Ethereum 2.0 and have achieved three important testnet implementation milestones: Ruby, Sapphire, and Diamond. These milestones exemplify their vision for how they can help bring Ethereum global. Prysmatic Labs today announced the restart of the final planned phase 0 of Ethereum 2.0: the Topaz testnet.

The Topaz testnet is currently unique as it represents the full mainnet configuration of Ethereum 2.0 Phase 0. In the previous testnet Sapphire, we targeted the mainnet size but used a smaller 3.2 ETH deposit. For Topaz, validators must deposit the full 32 ETH on the Goerli ETH1 testnet to participate. In keeping with our original vision, Diamond represents the mainnet version of Prysm in Ethereum 2.0.

For this latest development in the implementation of Ethereum 2.0, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin retweeted and commented:

The eth2 test network configured on the main network. Note though, that this is probably not likely to be a "multi-client testnet" yet, as we may be doing a restart or two soon to have more opportunities to test the genesis mechanism. But it's still great progress, great work @Prysmatic Labs.

Vitalik later said that the meaning of the Topaz test network is like the Olympic test network of Ethereum 1.0. This is also enough to show the significance of the Topaz test network.

The Ethereum blockchain was officially opened to users in July 2015. Ethereum has previously opened nine versions of the open test network for proof of concept. The last test network version is Olympic for developers to explore in advance how the Ethereum blockchain will work after it is opened.
