ConsenSys Researcher：Ethereum 2.0 Beacon Chain May Launch in Six Weeks
Summary: ConsenSys Researcher and Ethereum 2.0 developer Ben Edgington said, "We’ve spent the last nine months testing the life out of this thing. The year began with huge, long-running single client testnets: Sapphire, Topaz and Onyx networks run by Prysmatic Labs."

ConsenSys Researcher and Ethereum 2.0 developer Ben Edgington said, "We’ve spent the last nine months testing the life out of this thing. The year began with huge, long-running single client testnets: Sapphire, Topaz and Onyx networks run by Prysmatic Labs."
The Medalla testnet has been running for over two months, with four different client implementations involved throughout that time. It continues to run today with over 50,000 validators actively participating, making it one of the largest decentralized consensus networks in existence.
Four high-quality, audited and battle-tested clients are currently available to run at beacon chain launch: Teku, Lighthouse, Nimbus and Prysm. Each has its own flavor and target user base. Zinken testnet was launched smoothly today. Edgington said, "Not many days after that I expect the deposit contract to be deployed, with a target beacon chain genesis within about six weeks."
