Danny Ryan, a developer with the Ethereum Foundation<\/a>, announced that the code freeze of Phase Zero, the first iteration of Ethereum 2.0, was live. According to the project's GitHub repository, version 0.8.0 will serve as a stable target as implementers work towards finalizing the entire project by January 2020.<\/p>\n

Code freeze Phase Zero for the new Ethereum blockchain goes live<\/h2>\n

While Ethereum 2.0<\/a>, the next generation Ethereum blockchain, might not see the light of day until next year, work on the project has been on schedule.<\/p>\n

On Jun. 30, the Ethereum Foundation announced the code freeze of Phase Zero, the first iteration of Ethereum 2.0. While Jun. 30 was set as a possible date for the freeze earlier this month, developers seemed unsure that they would meet the deadline.<\/p>\n

Danny Ryan, a researcher with the Ethereum Foundation, announced the news on Twitter, sharing the project's specs on GitHub. The beacon chain required the most work, the changelog showed, with four critical bugs resolved and five new features added. However, significant changes to the phase are still expected, especially to the BLS signatures<\/p>\n
