3. ETH2 Now Consensus Layer
All things ETH2 will now be referred to as Consensus Layer. Decentralized, open-source blockchain Ethereum has been working on a move from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism. This move to a PoS mechanism was in a bid to solve ETH scalability issues.
Interestingly, Ethereum Foundation has released new details about its ETH2 platform. According to the foundation, it will no longer refer to its upgraded PoS chain as ETH2 but as its ‘Consensus Layer.
Adding that the name rebrand is in a bid to
- Prevent scams,
- Ensure inclusiveness,
- Staking clarity, and
- Lastly, prevent a broken mental model for new users.
In simple terms, Eth1 will be known as the Execution layer, and Eth2 as the Consensus layer. Together both the execution and consensus layer will make up the Ethereum Chain.
