One can recall the Ethereum token sale of 2015. On the first day there was a significant (yet disappointing) level of participation, then a very small one over the next 11 days, and on the 13th and especially the 14th day (the last day of the full discount) there was a huge spike when about half of all the coins went on sale. Thus, there is a high likelihood that there will be a period of lull and a surge in the final week of November. But these are just my thoughts; we\u2019ll see,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<p>The Ethereum co-founder retweeted a post about the need to use Launchpad for deposits into Ethereum 2.0 staking. The reason is that the deposit contract does not accept direct deposits from personal wallets. If funds are sent from an exchange, there is a high risk of loss, as it would be unlikely to handle a transaction reversal.<\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"twitter-tweet\\\"><p>\\n<\/p>\n<p dir=\\\"ltr\\\" lang=\\\"und\\\"><a href=\\\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ema04pggSJ\\\">https:\/\/t.co\/Ema04pggSJ<\/a> <a href=\\\"https:\/\/t.co\/UtUoLMnbW8\\\">pic.twitter.com\/UtUoLMnbW8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jeff Coleman | Jeff.eth (@technocrypto) <a href=\\\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/technocrypto\/status\/1324038121181335552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\\\">November 4, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\\\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\\\" charset=\\\"utf-8\\\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Ethereum 2.0 lead developer Danny Ryan <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/ethereum-2-0-deposit-contract-launch-delayed-by-two-weeks-developers-say\">stated<\/a>, that the ETH2 deposit contract launch would take place in the first half of November.<\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<p>Analysts at ConsenSys Codefi <a href=\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/en\/news\/opinion-high-defi-yields-threaten-ethereum-2-0-staking\">suggested<\/a>, that high yields from DeFi protocols could pose a threat to staking in Ethereum 2.0.<\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\\\"wp-embedded-content\\\" data-secret=\\\"EbZeY6Xws1\\\">\n<p>What is Ethereum 2.0?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\\\"lazy\\\" class=\\\"wp-embedded-content\\\" sandbox=\\\"allow-scripts\\\" security=\\\"restricted\\\" style=\\\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\\\" title=\\\"\u00abWhat is Ethereum 2.0?\u00bb \u2014 ForkLog\\\" src=\\\"https:\/\/u1f987.com\/cryptorium\/chto-takoe-ethereum-2-0\/embed#?secret=rh4C6sKD8k#?secret=EbZeY6Xws1\\\" data-secret=\\\"EbZeY6Xws1\\\" width=\\\"500\\\" height=\\\"282\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" marginwidth=\\\"0\\\" marginheight=\\\"0\\\" scrolling=\\\"no\\\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\\n<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to ForkLog news on <a href=\\\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/forklog\\\" target=\\\"_blank\\\" rel=\\\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\\\">Facebook<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin sent 3,200 ETH (~$1.3m) to the deposit contract of Ethereum 2.0.
