Beacon ChainBeacon Chain, the English name is Beacon Chain, Beacon , which means lighthouse, signal buoy. It is actually the core of the Ether 2.0 system. Beacon Chain is a new proof-of-stake ( PoS ) blockchain that is designed to solve the consensus problem, while Shard Chains ( Shard Chains ) are designed to solve the scalability problem of Ether.
Description
The Beacon Chain doesn't change anything about the Ethereum we use today. It will coordinate the network. It introduces proof-of-stake to the Ethereum ecosystem. You might know this as "Phase 0" on technical roadmaps.
The Beacon Chain will conduct or coordinate the expanded network of shards and stakers. But it won't be like the Ethereum mainnet of today. It can't handle accounts or smart contracts.
