While there are real risks to the underlying infrastructure, ETH advocates are unsurprisingly skeptical of ETH’s performance in the expected price rally following the release of ETH 2.0.

Running an ETH 2.0 validator node is a relatively profitable thing, at least for ETH loyal supporters, and running a node on its own requires 32 ETH. Naturally, with the flood of 32 ETH coming, many turned to configuration pools.

In fact, 83,872 ETH have been staked so far, but, interestingly,One entity controls about a huge number of nodes, 35% of all validator nodes.

On November 14, 2020, an address deposited 16,000 ETH. Whoever he is, they're not the only one, because Ethereum's Vitalik Buterin himself deposited $1.4 million worth of ETH into the contract during phase 0 in the first week of November, which is interesting becauseThe biggest gain is above 20%.

However, stakers address the risk of locking their ETH indefinitely. On top of that, there is a risk of not being able to perform their duties effectively, which could lead to them being "forfeited", and while there are great rewards here, the risk is also twofold.To check if running a validator node is worth it, traders look for accurate price trends and signals on ETH’s price and open interest charts.

Doing so would be a very useful tip, as the price of ETH seems to be responding to the launch of ETH 2.0, and the network and HODLers seem to be positive about the impact on price. However, there are still some problems. That said, if you do decide to hold, you need a roadmap for dealing with issues such as the following.

Initial equity capital is high considering the volatility of Ethereum price over the past month
There is still great uncertainty in obtaining rewards
Migrating from ETH to ETH 2.0 is relatively more complicated, even for validators
Wagering rewards may change over time

Finally, uptime needs to be maintained. Although Vitalik Vuterin does claim that65％is enough, but that's still pretty high uptime.

In addition to these problems, there are still concerns that ETH 2.0 may be a "zombie chain". With market caps in the billions and claims of “low utility,” many ERC-20 projects have turned into zombies, and the lack of tangible interest could lead ETH 2.0 to follow the same path. In a very distorted sense,ETH 2.0 may be very similar to rival Tezos, a project that many in the Ethereum community have dubbed a "zombie chain."

In fact, while Buterin has been quite happy with Tezos lately, he commented: “I hope Tezos does well. It has really interesting and thoughtful high-tech and management ideas, even if I’m not personally involved”.

While there are real risks to running infrastructure,But ETH advocates are undoubtedly skeptical about ETH's performance in the expected price rebound after the release of ETH 2.0.The original text comes from ambcrypto, compiled by Blockchain Knight, the English copyright belongs to the original author, please contact the compiler for Chinese reprint.
