Rocket Pool Reveals Roadmap for Ethereum 2.0

With a roadmap recently revealed, Ethereum 2.0 and second-layer scaling solutions are now on the way.

Developers at decentralized Ethereum proof-of-stake pool Rocket Pool published a rough outline of the Ethereum 2.0 roadmap, according to a blog post.

The Ethereum 2.0 mainnet will feature second-layer scaling solutions, such as Plasma and Sharding, and will combine key projects to achieve a PoS consensus mechanism.

In addition to client improvements, Ethereum 2.0 will offer an ecosystem of open-source software that includes new smart contract languages, RPC libraries and development tools.

Through updates to scalability and efficiency, Ethereum 2.0 hopes to enhance transaction throughput and become a "Platform for new economic systems."

Given its emphasis on decentralization, Ethereum 2.0 will be built on multiple levels by several Ethereum software developer groups.

Darren Langley, a senior blockchain developer at Rocket Pool, noted conversations around developing a common testing language for Ethereum 2.0:."An essential process being discussed is the need for a common testing language that encodes test cases - enabling researchers to define a bunch of tests with expected results that each team can use to validate their implementation against the specification, providing consistency across the different teams."

The official launch date of the Ethereum 2.0 client has not been disclosed.

Will become a base layer for dApps built on its second-layer sidechains, allowing dApps to maintain the Ethereum.
