Ethereum 1.0 (proof of work Ethereum)

YOLO/Berlin updates

  • One major change “from the almost testnet ready Berlin upgrade is that EIP-2315 will not be a part of the Berlin upgrade.”
  • Last week “some concerns on the need & adoption of the EIP-2315 were highlighted by the Solidity team.” After some discussion, it was “finally decided by all the client developers to take this proposal out from the spec for the Ropsten testnet.”
  • Ropsten fork “will NOT be pushed and clients will have another release soon.”

As explained by Ethereum.org, Eth2 ot Ethereum 2.0 “refers to a set of interconnected upgrades that will make Ethereum more scalable, more secure, and more sustainable.” These upgrades are being developed by several different teams from across the global and decentralized Ethereum ecosystem.

Ethereum has come a long way since its introductory whitepaper was published in 2013 by Russian-Canadian programmer Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, well before the initiative’s launch in 2015.

Ethereum, like many other community-driven, open-source software initiatives, has evolved quite a bit since its inception.

As noted on Ethereum.org, although several years old, they maintain the paper since it serves as a useful reference and an “accurate representation of Ethereum and its vision.”

As reported recently, Ethereum 2.0 is being supported by crypto exchange Kraken and Gitcoin with open-source grants. Digital asset platform Coinbase is also supporting ETH 2.0 with a staking service.
