The Ethereum 2.0 launch marks the blockchain's switch from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. The project has been delayed numerous times, but the Foundation has assured the community that it is on track for a 2020 release.
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin responded to Drake's post in the Reddit forum, countering that phase 0 should launch regardless of readiness level. He also argued that Ethereum 1.0 did not take as long and that there is no reason for Ethereum 2.0 to take longer.
