The long-awaited release of ETH 2.0 has had the Ethereum community in a state of expectancy for well over a year<\/a> at this point. Originally, developers had set a January 2020 release date. But that date has come and gone with only more news of further delays since then.<\/p>\n

It follows that during the Consensus: Distributed<\/a> conference, which is taking place virtually between May 11 – 15, Ethereum co-founder, Vitalik Buterin apparently confirmed the project is on track for July 2020 launch. However, in an unexpected twist, Buterin has since backpedaled on the release date.<\/p>\n

In a tweet<\/a>, Buterin claims to have misheard the question and then confirmed ETH 2.0 will not be ready for July. This disappointing turn of events has been met with FUD from the Ethereum community. With some even claiming that it’s unlikely ETH 2.0 will launch this year.<\/p>\n

\n

I can now officially confirm that ETH 2.0 won\u2019t launch by July.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for official confirmation that it won\u2019t launch by July 2021 either!<\/p>\n
