Buterin, Author: ANDREY SHEVCHENKO, reprinted with authorization by Odaily.existSuccessfully launched Ethereum 2.0 phase 0。

(This is the first step in building the next iteration of the protocol.) Afterwards, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin released an updated roadmap of Ethereum's next steps.

The current development of Ethereum 2.0 is usually divided into several stages. Phase 0 is the most basic beacon chain, which can be staked but has no effect on the application layer. Phase 1 introduces data sharding to increase storage capacity without directly affecting application performance. Finally, Phase 2 fully introduces transaction sharding and guarantees the promised throughput of thousands of transactions per second (TPS).

——vitalik.eth（@VitalikButerin）, this roadmap template is a vision for the next 5 to 10 years. The updated version is more flexible, and terms like "Phase 1" and "Phase 2" are completely removed. The properties that define each stage are now more independent of each other, and

Merged work done on Ethereum 1.x

Buterin's roadmap covers all of Ethereum's development, providing a detailed overview of what's next for Ethereum, including an approximate progress bar for completion.The roadmap I did in March was updated with a (very rough and approximate) progress bar showing work already done and some recent tweaks to the roadmap itself.We've accomplished a lot, but there's still a lot to do!

December 1, 2020Key features of the next major milestone are the transition of Ethereum 1.0 to proof-of-stake, the introduction of Eth2 light clients on Eth1, and data sharding — all of which were previously grouped under Phases 1 and 1.5. An important change to the current roadmap is the realization that these three steps are largely independent and can proceed in parallel.Furthermore, huge scalability improvements can be achieved by implementing the latter two properties, as they will allow rollup to be implemented on sharded data structures.

rollup is a second layer technology, can reduce the burden of off-chain calculations, but its correctness can be guaranteed by proofs stored on the chain. Therefore, data sharding greatly increases the processing space of rollup. Once light clients and data sharding are introduced, TPS can exceed 10,000.However, according to Buterin, the progress of data sharding and light clients is still at or below 50%, which is different from the

Phase 1 takes at least one year to completeThe estimates are consistent.Stateless clients and Ethereum 1.x plans are also less than 50% in progress according to the chart.
