Contract deployment Genesis deposits Bootstrap consensus
tl;dr
v1.0 specs launched 🚀
v1.0 spec launch
Immediately, we released v1.0 of the eth2 specs, together with the mainnet deposit contract handle — 0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa. eth2 can have a MIN_GENESIS_TIME of 1606824000 (or for these of you who don’t suppose in unix time — December 1, 2020, 12pm UTC).
To set off genesis right now, there should be not less than 16384 32-ETH validator deposits 7 days previous to December 1. If not, genesis will probably be triggered 7 days after this threshold has been met (at any time when that could be). For a extra detailed dialogue of how genesis is kicked off, see Ben Edgington’s genesis writeup.
As an extra utility, our associates at ENS configured depositcontract.eth to resolve to0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa, renewed the area till 2150, and burned the possession.
The mainnet Launch Pad is up. If you’re utilizing the deposit CLI to generate your deposits, the commit hash for v1.0.0 is 9310de0ff3e1154c718a260ce3e5c71e9f187133.
Test, double-check, triple-check the deposit contract handle earlier than sending any funds wherever 🚀
