As the cryptocurrency community is waiting for the official release of Ethereum (ETH) 2.0, someone recently anonymously posted an article in line with the protocol on Medium.
The anonymous author operates on Medium with the name “heyheeyheeey”. As written by the author on 2nd June 2020, the concept is a “design for an ETH2 staking solution on top of Argent that is fast and simple to use so that users with less time, knowledge or skills can join from the beginning.” Argent is simply a cryptocurrency wallet related to decentralized finance (DEFI).
The Concept Is Targeted at Simplicity
According to the Medium author, heyheeyheeey, his contribution to Ethereum 2.0 attracts no compensation. The author’s concept is targeted at making things easier for the public.
Denoting the asset holding prerequisite for network staking, heyheeyheeey said, “Staking is coming to Ethereum soon but it’s only for technical users and requires a large amount of Ether,” adding that “Argent is one of the go-to wallets for ‘beginner’ users and could bridge the gap.”
According to Cointelegraph, the author of the ETH 2.0 concept was officially contacted for further details, but there is yet to be an update at the time of writing.
