Ethereum 2020: Roadmap and Outlook

secondary title

introduction

This part states the reasons for merging Eth1 and Eth2: In order to make the application of Eth1 continue to work, the status and functions of Eth1 must be migrated to the Eth2 system; then it introduces the three steps involved in the merger: stateless Eth1, Phase 0 and Phase 1 of Eth2; then form the merged specification.

Stateless Ethereum

This part introduces why stateless Ethereum should be promoted: to solve the headache of the sudden increase in the scale of Ethereum state data. After realizing the stateless Ethereum, there is no need for every node to store all the states.

To achieve stateless Ethereum, four things need to be accomplished: compressing block witness data, forming a state provider network, re-pricing gas consumption for transactions, and implementing a static access mode for states.

secondary title

This section describes the remaining work to achieve Phase 0: client optimization, multi-client testnet, fuller auditing, and deposit contracts on the Eth1 mainnet.
