The drop arrangement for Ethereum 2.0 has hit 60% of its target.
315,616 ETH has been deposited to the arrangement at the time of writing, equating to almost 60% of the minimum ambition of 524,288 ETH. The arrangement needs 16,384 validators to arrange as planned, with ETH holders charge drop a minimum of 32 ETH to participate.
At 524,288 ETH, alpha can occur, arch to the deployment of the long-awaited Beacon chain.
