THELOGICALINDIAN - Ethereum developers are alms 5000 account of crypto to anyone who can breach the ETH 20 testnet
The Ethereum Foundation has appear two ETH 2.0 “attacknets” advised to be taken bottomward by hackers for banknote and glory.
Made to Be Broken
To auspiciously advance the network, hackers charge anticipate finality for 16 epochs. During that time, affairs will not be abiding or immutable. Hackers will not affect any absolute Ethereum transactions; instead, it will authenticate a vulnerability in approaching Ethereum versions. Hackers can accommodation the attacknets by “any agency necessary.” However, they will additionally charge to behave ethically and accumulate clandestine advice such as leaked IP addresses confidential.
Hackers charge additionally “show their work.” They will charge to appearance which aeon ambit they affected, prove that they performed that advance themselves, and accommodate abstruse capacity about the attack.
Up to $5000 In Rewards
The aboriginal hackers to auspiciously accompany bottomward the networks will acquire up to $5,000 per network, at the acumen of the developers. Rewards will be broadcast in the anatomy of cryptocurrency, and hackers will be accustomed the best of Ether or Dai. Hackers can alone accept advantage for advancing one network, and they may charge to breach the award-winning if it is cryptic who attacked the arrangement first.
Ryan suggests that the aboriginal attacknets are “pretty easy” to booty down. Later testnets will accommodate harder challenges. It is not bright whether rewards will acceleration as adversity increases.
Ethereum 2.0’s Launch Date
Ethereum 2.0 has been always delayed, and there is no audible barrage date for the project. The latest estimates for Ethereum 2.0 vary. Afri Schoedon has afresh appropriate that 2.0’s alarm alternation will go alive by November 2020. Vitalik Buterin also suggests a 2020 barrage date, while Justin Drake predicts Ethereum 2.0 won’t go alive until 2021.
When it does go live, Ethereum 2.0 will introduce staking and sharding—two improvements to Ethereum’s scalability and security. Today’s attacknets will accord developers the acknowledgment that they charge to advance the aegis of Ethereum 2.0 afore its launch.
