Ethereum 2.0 launched a "hackable" test network, inviting white-hat hackers to challenge it

Rhythm BlockBeats - On July 21, Ethereum 2.0's "hackable" beta network was split into two parts and offered a white hat hacker prize of $5,000 to invite hackers to break into the two beta networks, according to a tweet from core ethereum developer Danny Ryan. Currently with the popularity of DeFi, Ethereum's Gas charges have been pushed to new highs. Eth2.0 will greatly improve transaction throughput. The first two nets are small and should be easy to break, Ryan said. Subsequent attacks will be scaled up.

The target of the network is the lighthouse & NBSP; (Lighthouse) and Prysm Eth2.0 micro version of the client are designed to access a stand-alone code base designed for the Pacific 2.0 network. Unlike the existing Ethereum clients Geth and Parity, which had 7,500 nodes, these attack networks would consist of only four nodes, making it easier to achieve the goal of preventing "finality".

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Butierin said ina 2016 blog post that "finality" is a permanently completed operation that cannot be recovered due to system errors or external intervention. Essentially, the developers of Eth2.0 require white-hat hackers to try to prevent trade confirmation, theoretically allow a trade to be recovered, double-header attacks, and other manipulations.
