Aside from written updates (check out the State of Eth2 post below) and other public summaries, client teams, contributors, and community members/prospective-validators have been busy! Today, we’ll cover some significant deposit contract news, and big steps toward implementation of spec version v0.12. tl;dr Solidity

Testnets, testnets, testnets! tl;dr Medalla testnet Following the excellent stability of Altona and based on conversations with eth2 client teams, Medalla – the next multi-client testnet – will have a MIN_GENESIS_TIME of 1596546000 (or for those of you that don’t think in unix time — August 4th, 2020, 1pm UTC)! This is a major step
