A code for the () first-stage transition to a proof-of-stake () consensus algorithm could be completed by June 30, as stated in an core developers on May 2.
In a bi-weekly call, researcher Justin Drake claimed that the developers team to prepare code specifications for phase zero by the end of June. Drake stated:
“We’re still very much on track. Still, [code] simplifications are coming through, which is great and the process of fine combing is also for finding these final bugs.”
Phase zero is the name of the first phase transition stage of the network from Proof-of-Work () to a PoS consensus algorithm.
Also known as , the phase zero shift is a part of a major network transition to 2.0, and is set to launch a new block validation system where the key role on block proposals belongs to validators instead of miners.
Phase zero was first released in its first pre-release in January 2019, as previously by Cointelegraph.
Meanwhile, , the second major part of the network update, a major feature that splits up processing between smaller groups of nodes to boost the capacity of the .
Recently, core developer Hudson Jameson that a third-party audit of the Application Specific Integrated Circuit ()-resistant PoW algorithm was funded.
In a previous meeting, developers implementing more frequent and smaller .
