The Ethereum 2.0 deposit contract won't be released until November, Ethereum Foundation researcher Danny Ryan said during a recent episode of Bankless Podcast. 

Ryan stated that the team is waiting on an audit for a critical crypto library, BLST, from audit firm NCC Group. He added that the library is crucial for creating keys and signing messages so if this is wrong it could cause serious problems in genesis deposits.
