The future of Ethereum 2.0. In 2020, the first phase of the Ethereum 2.0 network will go live. Called Phase 0, this initial evolution of the 2.0 network will launch the beacon chain and enable the Proof of Stake consensus mechanism. What Happens to My ETH on Ethereum 2.0? Ethereum 2.0 is launching in 2020. And no, you don’t need to do anything with the ETH you’ve bought over the years. With an eye towards the launch of Ethereum 2.0, therefore, the natural questions for most ETH holders are: what happens to the ether I have bought over the years on the current Ethereum blockchain? Do I need to worry about a hard fork, or will I need to manage a token migration? Does it matter if my ether is on an exchange like Coinbase or in a hardware wallet like Ledger? For most ETH holders––i.e. the HODLers, the dapp users, the traders––the answers are: No, you don’t need to do anything. No, there won’t be a hard fork or a migration. No, it does not matter if your ether is on an exchange or not. For ETH holders who are interested in staking, there is an opportunity to be more active with your ETH in this first stage of the Ethereum 2.0 rollout. source: [https://consensys.net/knowledge-base/ethereum-2/faq/#:~:text=Phase%200%20of%20Ethereum%202.0,anticipated%20for%202021%20or%20later.&text=Proof%20of%20Stake%20(PoS)%20is%20an%20upgrade%20from%20Ethereum%201.0,for%20improved%20security%20and%20scalability](https://consensys.net/knowledge-base/ethereum-2/faq/#:~:text=Phase%200%20of%20Ethereum%202.0,anticipated%20for%202021%20or%20later.&text=Proof%20of%20Stake%20(PoS)%20is%20an%20upgrade%20from%20Ethereum%201.0,for%20improved%20security%20and%20scalability) .
