以太坊創始人Vitalik：幾個月後，Ethereum（ AA級）的TPS將提升至3000。
9月18日，由萬向區塊鏈實驗室主辦的第五屆區塊鏈全球峰會“區塊鏈新經濟· 新十年新起點”在上海舉行。以太坊創始人、萬向區塊鏈實驗室首席科學家Vitalik發表閉幕演講。他說到：雖然Ethereum 2.0還沒有推出，但規範已經寫好，已經接近推出了。對以太坊而言，目前，以太坊網絡最多每秒可以處理20到25筆交易。幾個月之後，我們希望進行伊斯坦布爾硬分叉，之後交易速度會提升到每秒3000筆交易。這是讓Vitalik和業界人士興奮的區塊鏈行業新發展！
以太坊是一個為DApp而生的全球開源平台。在以太坊上，你可以通過編寫代碼管理數字資產、運行程序，更重要的是，這一切都不受地域限制。
然而，區塊鏈系統一直存在三元悖論：去中心化/權力下放（Decentralization，Anyone can join as validator），一致性/安全（Consistency，All nodessee same data at same time）和可擴展性/性能（Scalability，High throughput；High capacity；Low latency），三者不可兼得。 Ethereum 2.0 (也稱為“Serenity”) 指的是以太坊核心協議的下一次重大升級，也就是“第一層”(Layer 1) 的幾項改進。它試圖通過引入分片（Sharding）、PoS共識（CasperFFG）、信標鏈（Beacon Chain）和新型虛擬機（eWASM）等改進和維護自身。此外，第二層（Layer 2）擴展性解決方案已有Plasma、State Channels、Payment Channels和ZK-STARKs等。
目前，共有9個獨立開發團隊建設ETH 2.0客戶端：Prysmatic Labs、ChainSafe、PegaSys、Harmony、ParityTechnologies、Sigma Prime、Status、Ethereum Foundation、Yeeth。以太坊Github主代碼庫貢獻者數量超過400人。在一定程度上，幾乎可以說以太坊代表了基礎公鏈甚至行業的最高技術水平。它的發展階段、面臨困境和探索方向同樣是整個行業共同面臨的。風起於青萍之末，我們應見微知著。大風是自小風發展而來，大影響、大思潮、大趨勢也都是從微細不易察覺之處源發。一葉落而知秋，我們決定推出Ethereum2.0一系列解讀文章。本文為第一篇，以太坊/加密行業縮略語篇。 DPoS - Delegated Proof of Stake LPoS - Liquid Proof of Stake BFT - Byzantine Fault Tolerance dBFT - Delegated Byzantine Fault Tolerance pBFT - Practical Byzantine Fault Tolerance iBFT - Istanbul Byzantine Fault Tolerance DeFi - Decentralized Finance DAPP - Decentralized Application ERC - Ethereum Request for Comments EIP - Ethereum Improvement Proposal DAO - Decentralized Autonomous Organization EVM - Ethereum Virtual Machine VDF - Verifiable Delay Function BIP - Bitcoin Improvement Proposal SegWit - Segregated Witness SPV - Simple Payment Verification UTXO - Unspent Transaction Output RSK - RootStock SC Platform UAHF - User Activated Hard Fork UASF - User Activated Soft Fork FIAT - Government-issued currency ETF - Exchange Traded Fund FA - Fundamental Analysis DCA - Dollar Cost Averaging CEX - Centralized Exchange DEX - Decentralized Exchange ICO - Initial Coin Offering STO - Security Token Offering SAFT - Simple Agreement for Future Tokens ROI - Return on Investment MCAP - Market Capilization MACD - Moving Average ConvergenceDivergence RSI - Relative Strength Index SMA - Simply Moving Average EMA - Exponential Moving Average HODL - Hold On for Dear Life FOMO - Fear of Missing Out BTFD - Buy The Fucking Dip DYOR - Do Your Own Research FUD - Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt SFYL - Sorry For Your Loss SEC - Securities & Exchange Commission FTC - Federal Trade Commision CFTC - Commodity Futures Trading Commission FDIC - Federal Deposit InsuranceCorporation DOJ - Department of Justice FinCEN - Financial Crimes EnforcementNetwork FINRA - Financial Industry RegulatoryAuthority AML - Anti-money Laundering TPS - Transactions Per Second ALT - Alternative Cryptocurrency 2FA - Two Factor Authentication DDoS - Distributed Denial of Service IPFS - Interplanetary File System PKI - Public Key Infrastructure MCD - Multi-collateral Dai CDP - Collateralized Debt Position EEA - Enterprise Ethereum Alliance HTLC - Hashed Timelock Contract VRF - Verfiable Random Function DAG - Directed Acyclic Graph SNARKs - Succinct Non-Interactive ARgumentsof Knowledge STARKs - Scalable Transparent ARguments ofKnowledge MPC - Multi-Party Computation
