PoS Round-Up is our focused biweekly report on the major news in and around the Proof of Stake ecosystem
Ethereum
It’s been a long time coming, but we finally made it — Ethereum 2.0 is live! The first block was proposed right on time at 12:00 UTC on December 1.
We’ve gathered some stats about how our Eth2 staking service is doing so far. About 8% of all staked ETH is being staked through our platform!
We also published a blog post outlining the first ever slashing event on the Ethereum 2.0 network. One of our validators, Validator 11313, successfully proposed the slashing and received the entire slashing reward of about 0.06 ETH!
