In December, the Beacon Chain launched, which established the Proof of Stake consensus mechanism. If you want to run your validator on Ethereum 2.0, you can make sure you have the necessary hardware requirements, technical expertise, and follow step-by-step instructions using the official Ethereum Launchpad.
With the highly anticipated launch of the first phase of Eth2, we expect attempts to scam users into depositing ETH into fake addresses. For that reason, we recommend checking the address listed on this page with other trustworthy sources such as the Ethereum Foundation, Etherscan, and ConsenSys.
Deposit Contract Address: 0x00000000219ab540356cbb839cbe05303d7705fa
WARNING: DO NOT SEND ETH TO THIS CONTRACT. Sending Eth to this contract address will result in a failed transaction, and does not mean you are staking on Eth2.
