Vitalik Buterin outlines next steps for Ethereum after Beacon Chain launch
A lot of the work is done in parallel, meaning scalability is closer than it seems. Following the successful launch of Ethereum 2.0 Phase 0 — the first concrete step in building the next iteration of the protocol — Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an updated roadmap of what comes next for the project.The current development of Ethereum 2.0 is generally divided into phases. Phase 0 is the barebones Beacon Chain that enables staking but has no effect on the application layer. Phase 1 introduces sharding of data, increasing storage capabilities without directly influencing....

The Bellatrix hard-fork is the final update on the Beacon chain that will prepare it for the Merge, and if node operators are not updated to the latest client, they risk syncing to the pre-fork chain. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin is reminding node operators to upgrade their clients before the Bellatrix “hard fork,” slated for Sept. 6. Buterin said that the scheduled upgrade will be the final update that prepares the Beacon chain (proof-of-stake chain) for the Merge.The merge is still expected to happen around Sep 13-15.
