(1) Ethereum 2.0 test network Zinken launched

On October 12, Ethereum multi-client testnet developer Afri Schoedon tweeted that the Ethereum 2.0 testnet Zinken has been finalized in epoch 2. According to the data on the Zinken test official website previously released by Bitfly (the parent company of the Ethermine mining pool), the Zinken test network has been launched.Terence TsaoDeveloper at Prysmatic Labs

Tweeted, "Zinken has almost perfect performance on the incentive test network run by the community." According to beaconcha.in data, as of press time, more than 136,000 simulated ETH or GöETH have been put on the test network, and the number of valid validators has reached 4269 . (CryptoPotato)

(2) Synthetix launched the second phase of the Optimistic test for the second-layer expansion plan of Ethereum

On October 14, Synthetix, a synthetic asset platform, announced that it has launched the second phase of the Optimistic Ethereum test for the second-layer expansion plan of Ethereum. During this phase, Synthetix and Optimistic will attempt to migrate from layer 1 (L1) to layer 2 (L2) and expand the number of users who can participate. (Synthetix)

(3) The Ethereum 2.0 staking liquidity solution Lido test network will be launched

On October 16, according to official news, the Ethereum 2.0 staking liquidity solution Lido test network will be launched soon. This program allows users to participate in ETH 2.0 staking with any amount of Ethereum to provide liquidity. When staking ETH on the beacon chain, users will receive bETH tokens, which represent ETH on the Ethereum beacon chain in a 1:1 manner. As the ETH pledged by users earns income in ETH 2.0, the ETH balance on the beacon chain will also increase accordingly.

On October 12, Bitfly (the parent company of the Ethermine mining pool) tweeted that Prysmatic Labs, the executive team of the Ethereum 2.0 client, had released the first Ethereum 2.0 in the latest version of its client (v1.0.0-alpha.29). Web UI (web product interface design).

During the Ethereum Foundation’s Zinken launch event on Monday, Ryan shared his thoughts on whether Ethereum 2.0 is on track to launch this year. Ryan said that this is an ongoing discussion with the client team and they need to spend some time observing the Zinken testnet. He said: "We determine a release date, not me or Vitalik (V God), but to synthesize all what is happening, talk to the engineering team, and do the best we can." (TheDailyHodl)

On Oct. 15, ethereum founder and chief scientist Vitalik Buterin reiterated his enthusiasm for "layer-two scaling" solutions such as rollups, which essentially keep transaction data on-chain. At the same time, the computational load is transferred off-chain. . V God called on Ethereum users to turn to expansion solutions, saying that the top priority is for users to start supporting rollups. In addition, Vitalik did not elaborate on when Ethereum will actually move to PoS, only saying that Phase 0 will happen "soon". Vitalik is also enthusiastic about the EIP 1559 proposal, which will try to adopt a flexible block size cap. According to Vitalik, this will make fees less volatile and block sizes slightly more volatile. (CoinDesk)
