The Ethereum 2.0 beacon chain was released last night, opening the first step in the expansion and upgrading of the world's second largest blockchain by market capitalization.

While Ethereum 2.0 is on schedule, there is one surprise. In the first block of Ethereum 2.0, a message was written that no one could understand. It seems odd that the message did not pay homage to the birth of Ethereum 2.0, nor did it point to the dilemma of a bank bailout.

Vitalik Buterin posted the message on Twitter:

Ordinary people: We should put something meaningful in the first block of the Ethereum PoS chain, such as a major human leap and so on. However the Ethereum community:

The content of this message is: "Mr. F has been here."

This message is written in the "graffiti" part of the block, which allows validators to write messages, similar to the part of a Bitcoin block where miners can leave messages.

But what does this message actually mean? Who is Mr. F?

At first, some thought the name came from the fifth episode of the third season of the hit TV series Arrested Development. In this TV series, no one knows who Mr. F is until it is revealed to be an inappropriate acronym.

But it turns out that Mr. F's source is quite different.
