The Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin urged developers to accelerate the preparation of ETH 2.0 clients for Phase 1 to test their operability in practice.

He noted that most of the specifications inherent to Phase 1 of Ethereum 2.0 have already been implemented in Phase 0, leaving developers to optimize and refine the code.
The main risk in transitioning to Phase 1 of Ethereum 2.0, in Buterin’s view, is the introduction of sharding in peer-to-peer networks, never before applied in such a scenario.
Ultimately, he wants to run a simplified version of the Ethereum 2.0 client on the ETH 1 network in parallel with Phase 1. This would allow testing the new network in practice and achieving the promised throughput of 100,000 transactions per second. The technical side of the matter remains under development, Buterin added.
Last week, Ethereum 2.0 lead developer Danny Ryan published part of the code for merging a functioning blockchain with the second version of the protocol.
Earlier, Buterin disagreed with Justin Drake’s suggestion that Phase 0 ETH 2.0 would not occur before the end of this year.
