About Lesson

Ethereum 2.0 is an important upgrade to the Ethereum network for a number of reasons, especially when it comes to scalability. Without the new features of PoS, shard chains, and the beacon chain, Ethereum could eventually become unsustainable and no longer the leading smart contract platform in the crypto ecosystem.

The roll-out of Eth2 will take some time, and it may even take longer than expected. The good news is it’s already well underway and Ethereum developers are dedicated to seeing it through.
