Ethereum 2.0 in comparison to Ethereum 1.0

 

ETH 1.0 and ETH 2.0

1. Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) (PoS)
Proof of Work is the Ethereum consensus mechanism, while Proof of Stake will be used in Ethereum 2.0. In Ethereum, Proof of Work (PoW) aims to reward miners for creating and validating blocks on the blockchain. However, such a mechanism limits its scalability because the blockchain requires more constant computing power as it grows. Proof of Stake (PoS) was introduced to attract more validators; anyone with at least 32 ETH can be compensated for validating and confirming transactions.

PoS has the advantage of being more energy efficient than PoW because it decouples energy-intensive computer tasks from the consensus algorithm. This also implies that maintaining the blockchain does not necessitate a large amount of computing power.

2.Ethereum 2.0 is more scalable
Ethereum has long been regarded as the king of the public chain. Many popular projects, such as DeFi in the summer of 2020 and NFTs and DAOs in 2021, are running on the Ethereum public chain. However, users have criticized Ethereum network congestion and high gas fees. The reason for this is that the network in Ethereum 1.0 can only support about 30 transactions per second, resulting in delays and congestion. To address the issue of scalability, Ethereum 2.0 uses shard chains to achieve up to 100,000 transactions per second.

3.Ethereum 2.0 will be safer
Ethereum 2.0 is being planned with security in mind. To deposit ETH on Ethereum 2.0, at least 16,384 validators are required, making it more decentralized and secure. Simultaneously, the Ethereum Foundation has formed a dedicated security team to serve ETH2.0 and detect potential network security issues in cryptocurrencies.
