- Prysmatic Labs has launched the primary Ethereum 2.Zero check community, which is able to run with a configuration just like the mainnet in part 0.
- Topaz is the equal of the Olympic testnet of Ethereum 1.Zero and isn’t but a multi-client check community.
After Ethereum made nice progress in direction of the launch in early February with the formal verification (FV) of the Ethereum 2.0 deposit smart contract byte codes and in mid-March with the completion of the audit of the Ethereum 2.0 phase 0 specifications, the time has lastly come. As Ethereum inventor Vitalik Buterin and Prysmatic Labs introduced, the primary Ethereum 2.Zero check community referred to as “Topaz” has been launched, which can have a whole configuration, just like the mainnet in part 0.
After Ruby and Sapphire, the Topaz check community is the final milestone for Prysmatic Labs earlier than the launch of Ethereum 2.0 phase 0. Within the earlier check community Sapphire, Prysmatic Labs already focused a mainnet-like configuration, however used smaller deposits of three.2 ETH. For Topaz the validators need to deposit 32 ETHs on the Goerli ETH1 check community to take part. Any more that is doable.
From right this moment Prysmatic Labs will even begin to reject the outdated Sapphire validators. Anybody who desires to be a genesis validator for Topaz has to make the deposit earlier than April 16, 2020, at 00:00 (UTC), as Prysmatic will ship many deposits from that date onwards to begin the check community. Prysmatic Labs additionally introduced the additional specs of the check community.
The testnet will run on model 0.11.1 and Prysm model V1.0.0-alpha. As advisable system necessities Prysmatic Labs lists a 64-bit Linux, Mac OS X, Home windows working system, an Intel Core i7-4770 or AMD FX-8310 or higher, eight GB RAM, 100 GB out there storage SSD and a broadband web connection.
Introducing our subsequent check community launch:

Multi-client testnet nonetheless within the works
The inventor of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, responded to the announcement by Prysmatic Labs and defined that Topaz is the equal of the Olympic check community arrange for Ethereum 1.0. Nevertheless, Buterin additionally clarified that the discharge just isn’t but the beginning of the lengthy awaited multi-client check community:
Mainnet-configuration eth2 testnet. Notice that that is seemingly not fairly but “THE Multiclient Testnet™”, as we’re seemingly going to do one or two restarts quickly to have extra possibilities to check the genesis mechanism. However nonetheless, big progress and wonderful work by @prylabs.
As Buterin defined in an interview on the finish of March, the final huge step for Ethereum is to begin a multi-client testnet and a Section Zero bug bounty program. Not till the multi-client testnet with a mainnet configuration has confirmed itself and runs with out issues, the mainnet can be launched as nicely. Based on Buterin, this can be a process that has already confirmed itself for Ethereum in 2015. To that extent, nonetheless, it isn’t but doable to foretell when the mainnet of Ethereum 2.Zero part Zero can be launched.
