Ethereum 2.0 Explained

Ethereum 2.0 is an upgrade to the Ethereum Network which improves the speed, efficiency, and scalability of the network. This will take Ethereum to new heights as it will be able to drastically more transactions, alleviating congestion, and high gas costs on the Ethereum network. Upon reaching the final phase of the upgrade, dubbed “phase 2”, Ethereum will meet her goals of becoming a transparent and open network for decentralized applications and finance.

Ethereum 2.0 will involve sharding to drastically increase network bandwidth and reduce gas costs, making it cheaper to send Ethereum, tokens, and interact with smart contracts. There will be fundamental economic changes too, Ethereum 2.0 will allow supports to staking nodes and earn Ethereum as passive income. In many ways, Ethereum 2.0 is the combined effort of thousands of developers who worked for years.
