specifications version v1.0
Today we released v1.0 eth2 specs, including mainnet deposit contract address — 0x00000000219ab540356cBB839Cbe05303d7705Fa. eth2 will have a MIN_GENESIS_TIME of 1606824000 (or for those of you who don’t think about Unix time — December 1, 2020, 12 p.m. UTC).
To trigger genesis at this time, there must be at least 16384 32-ETH validator deposits 7 days before December 1st. Otherwise, genesis will be triggered 7 days once this threshold is reached (when this may be the case). For a more detailed discussion of how genesis begins, see Ben Edgington’s work. writing of genesis.
