Vitalik Buterin sent 3 200 ETH for staking in Ethereum 2.0

From the wallet of the co -founder of the Ethereum Vitalik Buterin translated 3 200 ETH for staking in Ethereum 2.0. Buterin hopes to launch the update 1 December.

Today in the deposit contract Ethereum 2.0
Blocked 39 141 ETH worth $17.2 million. In an interview with The Block Buterin said, that interest in a deposit contract will continue to grow. Buterin explained, that stakers bring their coins from a cold storage, study the work of tools and see, that their broadcasts are not "thrown into the wind."

The launch of the zero update phase is scheduled for 1 December, If by this time the deposit contract will contain 524 288 ETH, and on the network there will be at least 16 384 Validators. In general, Buterin considers, that this goal is quite feasible, and to 1 on December the conditions will be met, necessary for launching update.

If we compare the situation with the sale of ETH in 2015 year, The first day was not distinguished by a high level of user involvement, And this trend remained up to 12 the day. However, on 13 and 14 The day was sold almost half of all air. Therefore, Buterin suggested, that in the case of the Ethereum 2.0 At first there will be a period of lull, and then the participants are activated in the last week of November.

To make eth stake in the Ethereum 2.0, It is necessary to use launchpad, and not send them directly to the deposit contract, to avoid unsuccessful transactions. The deposit contract allows validators to join the Beacon Chain signal circuit by sending ethers from the Ethereum 1.0 on Ethereum 2.0. This was another step, approaching the launch of the zero phase of update.

Recall, what 4 August developers launched the test network of the Ethereum 2.0 called Medalla, However, ten days later, unplanned forks occurred in it due to non-staffing, used by the client PRYSM. And last month, the Zinken test network was successfully launched to conduct a “general rehearsal” to create an essential of the etherium genesis 2.0.

Moreover, many experts of the decentralized finance industry (DeFi) consider, that the update launch will not be enough to reduce commissions on the Ethereum network, Therefore, it is necessary to create additional solutions.
