Eth 2.0 progresses closer to launch day, this time with what the Ethereum Foundation is refers to as the "dress rehearsal" which comes in the form of another new testnet. Their announcement reads:
"We realize that both the engineers and the community could use one more public testnet launch before mainnet to run through the motions. At the same time, we want to avoid disrupting Medalla’s momentum. We’ve therefore opted for a shortlived dress rehearsal that will run in parallel to Medalla later this month. Welcome Spadina!
Spadina will be a (primarily) mainnet configuration testnet with a 3 day end-of-life (EOL). The main objective is to give us all another chance to go through one of the more difficult and risky parts of the process – deposits and genesis – before we reach mainnet. If all goes well, it should give us greater peace of mind before we jump into the real deal later this year."
If developers are experienced in debugging testnets, they are invited to join.
There's also some paid positions open with a budget of $15,000 for people who can help gather info needed on the testing of the Medalla eth 2.0 testnet.
Both Medalla and Spadina testnets will operate separately, then their features will be combined to form the final version of ETH2.0 the public will use
