Ethereum 2.0, the most significant feat of engineering ever attempted in crypto’s short history, has been a multi-year endeavor. Ethereum developer Tim Beiko has played an outsized role helping to orchestrate this operation – which will see the most-actively used blockchain switch to an entirely new consensus mechanism, like swapping out a person’s skeleton – by hosting core protocol meetings this year.
The project hit several milestones in 2021, including multiple hard forks and deployment of Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIP), many of which Beiko led.

- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
