Looking forward to ETH 2.0 launching, eToro now gives permission for Australian clients to stake in the system while collecting many rewards.
Clients of eToro online broker in Australia can now stake ETH 2.0 with the minimum amount to stake being 1 unit of ETH. Ethereum 2.0 is the latest innovation of the ETH network by using the Proof of Stake mechanism (not the current Proof of Work mechanism).
eToro Money App
ETH 2.0 staking can be run on any crypto wallet inside the eToro Money app. For now, users who stake their ETH via the eToro Money crypto wallet will earn additional ETH during the staking process, however, only have access to the staked ETH and the accumulated rewards once the ETH 2.0 blockchain is official. Later, once the ETH 2.0 blockchain is launched, you will have access to the original assets and rewards.
eToro clients can transfer ETH from the eToro platform to the crypto tab in their eToro Money app. Please note that ETH transferred to the eToro Money app is non-transferable.
If you have ETH in an external wallet, please transfer it to your eToro Money wallet and stake it there. If it's available in your area, take advantage of the facility to buy ETH directly in your eToro Money wallet using Simplex. When you store other crypto assets in the broker's money wallet, you can convert them into ETH and stake them. The app will display the status of the ETH staked, along with the accumulated bet rewards.

How will Ethereum get replaced with Ethereum 2.0?
Daniel Robson
Jun 22 2022
Antonio: In short, Ethereum 2.0 is the next biggest update of the Ethereum blockchain. This is a long-awaited update to the main public network of Ethereum. Ethereum 2.0 will be released in multiple phases starting with "Phase" 0 in 2020. Each stage will increase the functionality and scope of Ethereum in multiple areas.
The potential development at each stage will most likely address scalability, faster transactions, mining issues, and the overall security of the Ethereum mainnet. The framework of Ethereum 2.0 will be based on the "beacon chain." The new chain will ensure the continuity with the existing Ethereum chain through all the functions of Chain 1.0.
