Ethereum 2.0—the forthcoming proof-of-stake blockchain that promises to be faster and cheaper than the current network—is getting ready to deploy.
Developers at several Ethereum software labs, as part of the ETH Global Scaling Hackathon project called Rayonism, today launched what one researcher termed “a super experimental Eth1-Eth2 post-merge testnetwork.”
About 30 min from now we’re launching a super experimental Eth1-Eth2 post-merge testnetwork!
A week ago we had a tutorial for a 2 client demo. Now we’ve 7 clients on a live network. The Steklo devnet will be fragile like glass, but a big step for testing the Merge! #ethereum pic.twitter.com/VspW6uwmv5

The testnet, known as Steklo, is aimed at exploring a new way of executing and finalizing transactions.
Since its creation, Ethereum’s consensus mechanism—the way in which it validates transactions and adds new blocks to the blockchain—has mimicked Bitcoin’s.
