Ethereum Foundation Rebrands the Terms ETH 2.0 and ETH 1.0
According to Ethereum Foundation in a recent blog post, the terms Ethereum 1.0 (Eth1) and Ethereum 2.0 (Eth2) have been phased out in favor of “execution layer” and “consensus layer” respectively.
In the blog post, it’s claimed that core developers stopped using the terminology from late 2021, preferring “execution layer” and “consensus layer.”
Ethereum Foundation highlighted further that the combination of the “execution layer” and “consensus layer” is known as Ethereum. The foundation said this change in terminology changes nothing in the roadmap to the major upgrade.
