Ether scan and Prysmatic Labs have released their “Beacon Chain Ethereum 2.0 Testnet Explorer”. According to the announcement of the company of the Explorer allows its users a look at the Sapphire Testnet a Prystmatic Labs developed a public network, which is the “Ethereum 2.0 Phase 0″Protocol is implemented.

New Testnet-Explorer – Ethereum 2.0 will see the light of the world
After the Ethereum community seed due to the long development process of the second network Iteration has suffered a loss of confidence, it now seems that Ethereum 2.0 is born earlier than expected, the light of the world.
During the annual Devcon conference, said the beginning of October, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, the Layer-2-solutions “work slower than expected” progress – despite the fact that nine Teams at the next Blockchain.
The lack of optimism in relation to the project was caused in part by comments from Jamie Pitts, one of the developers of the Ethereum Foundation. In front of a panel of Pitts said that there is a distinct lack of strategy and coordination between the Teams, the lead to delays in the project.
The recent developments show, however: Ethereum 2.0 is definitely still alive. On 5. December announced ether scan (one of the most popular Blockchain Explorer for the Ethereum network), he has published a Explorer for the new Ethereum test net.
The “Beacon Chain Ethereum 2.0 Testnet Explorer” is running on the Eth-2.0-Node implementation, called Prysm. The Prysmatic Labs developed Sapphire test network implements the “Phase 0” Protocol Ethereum 2.0.
Blockchain Explorer makes the participation in the test networks accessible to all
Prysmatic laboratories, according to the Proof-of-Stake allows Blockchain each considers the participation of the ETH in the Goerli-test network. The Start-up of the Sapphire trial network in July, was followed by the launch of the Nimbus – and Lighthouse-test networks in March and April.
Those who join the test network, to act as validators and can participate in the application and vote on blocks in the log. The behavior of the network participants is occupied with rewards and punishments, in order to allow a natural environment in the test network.
For This Purpose, Prysmatic Labs:
“To participate in the network, each 3.2 ETH from the Goerli ETH1.0 test network in a Validator Deposit agreement, for the user is recorded as a Validator in the System will send.“
According to the “Beacon Chain Testnet Explorer” are located at the time of writing 517 active and 213 inactive controller in the network. Validators, which remain for a certain period of time inactive, be set in such a way that their use is removed from the test network.
Previously it was but punished none of the Staker as the Explorer shows. Approximately 940 of the 1,650 eligible ETH had been chosen, the Explorer.
