Resuming Trials for Ethereum 2.0 Medalla Testnet Phase 0
All eyes are on Ethereum 2.0 launch as trials for the Medalla testnet is likely to resume soon. The insufficient participation from validators has kept the testnet offline for the past few weeks. Yesterday’s tweet from Bitfly suggests that validator replacement has started with the aim to resume testing back again.
Validator massacre has begun!
664 validators are now in the exit queue. ????Medalla should reach finality in approximately 2 days.

Analysts state that “no incentivization” has been the prime reason behind low validator participation. Ben Edgington, the ConsenSys developer for ETH 2.0 said:
“Medalla right now is highly unrealistic, and spending too much effort on optimising for its current state is unproductive. Medalla testnet ran perfectly smoothly for two months, but it’s been nineteen days since the chain last finalised – we need 2/3 of the validators present and correct to achieve this. Medalla is currently oscillating between about 30% and 60% – this is likely due to a periodic performance issue in the majority client.”
Ethereum Continues to Drive Corporate Interest
Despite the recent hurdles with Ethereum 2.0, businesses and corporations continue to show their interest in the Ethereum blockchain. Last week, the telecom giant Verizon announced a new technology to log press releases on the Ethereum blockchain network. Verizon said that the new tech system called Full Transparency is “designed to raise the bar for corporate accountability”.
