Danny Ryan: "Deposit contract ETH 2.0 will be launched in the first half of November "

According to the developer Ethereum Foundation Danny Ryan (Danny Ryan), Starting a deposit contract, allows you to send ETH from the Ethereum 1.0 on Ethereum 2.0, will take place in the first half of November.

Recently in Bankless Podkasta, Ryan said, that the deposit contract will not be deployed, Until it receives approval based on the results of the audit of the BLST cryptographic library, conducted by the audit company NCC Group. Ryan noted:

“This library is very important for creating keys and signing messages. If you use this library, They must be safe. If you use it to create wallets, They must have a good chance. If you sign your deposits with a connected signature, She must be correct. Given the criticality of this library, If there is a problem in it, an error in the deposits of the genesis may occur, And this cannot be allowed ".

The main developers of the Ethereum 2.0 Expected, that the deposit contract will be launched at the beginning or mid -November, Depending on the results of the audit. Ryan noted, that researchers are still planning to create a block of the genesis of the etherium 2.0 in 2020 year.

Recall, that the deposit contract of the Ethereum 2.0 Successfully passed the check at the beginning of the year. Besides, In the middle of the month, the developers of the Ethereum 2.0 Successfully launched the Zinken test network. Recently engineer Consensys Ben Ejington (Ben Edgington) suggested, that the genesis block can be created in the next eight weeks.
