Ethereum Foundation to Form ETH 2.0

Ethereum Foundation To Form ETH 2.0 Security Team

Ethereum 2.0 lead developer Justin Drake announced the search for specialists to support the second version of the protocol.

Their area of ​​responsibility will include issues related to network security and its economy.

The list of tasks for the future team includes fuzzy testing, reward hunting, signaling function development, cryptoeconomics modeling, applied cryptanalysis, and formal verification.

Also, the team will have to do theoretical work on formal verification of cryptographic algorithms to confirm their security.

The Ethereum network may be under attack. A lot of transactions with zero value are recorded in the coin blockchain. In this case, some of the empty transfers are sent to one address. Presumably, the attackers are interested in a specific project.

The DeFi project Opyn was attacked tonight, as reported by his team on their blog. Hackers stole $ 371,000 in cryptocurrency.
