Ethereum Foundation researcher: ETH 2.0 phase zero may not start until 2021

Pulsing with BlockBeats, Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake (& NBSP; Justin Drake said in an online questionand-answer session on Reddit on Friday that the initial phase of Ethereum 2.0, known as Phase zero, will probably not be in place until early 2021. One of the main factors behind the startup delay is the multi-client approach led by phase 0 developers.

Drake said hope I can see before block (2.0) the etheric lane creation "there is a public beta online for 2-3 client running smoothly for 2-3 months", and there is a similar bounty programme of bounty.ethereum.org can also perform 2-3 months. "all these are impossible to implement in the third quarter of 2020. On November 26th is the Thanksgiving Day is the next holiday in December, and I want to say 2020 Gensis of latest real opportunity is in the middle of November, About four months from now, but based on the above, the earliest actual date for the Genesis block is probably January 3, 2021 (the 12th anniversary of Bitcoin)."

But it seems vgod still wants to start node 0 as soon as possible, writing behind Drake's post, "FWIW, I personally strongly disagree with this and would prefer to start Phase 0 by that date (January 2021) regardless of the level of preparation :D."

It took four months from the release of the first multi-client test network to Eth1 (~ the Olympic Games in late March 2015 to the release of Eth1 in late May 2015), and I think the four months began to count when Altona was released in early July. The Eth2.0 phase is simpler in some ways than Eth1 and more complex in others: more complex PoS, but no complex GPu-oriented PoW; More optimizations are needed, but not complex VMS, and so on. I tend to say that Eth2 0 is simpler on the web. In addition, Eth2 won't have any critical applications until phase 1, so the actual risk of damage is lower (although you might think the entire ecosystem is larger). So in general, I see no reason to spend more time on the launch cycle in Eth2.0 than in Eth1. "
