  Ethereum 2.0 introduces a new consensus mechanism called Proof of Stake (PoS) which replaces the current Proof of Work (PoW) system. This change aims to improve scalability, energy efficiency, and security. PoS allows users to become validators by locking up a certain amount of Ether as collateral. Validators are then randomly selected to create new blocks and validate transactions. This eliminates the need for miners and reduces the computational power required for network consensus. Overall, Ethereum 2.0 is expected to significantly increase the transaction processing capacity of the Ethereum network.

  One of the key features of Ethereum 2.0 is the introduction of shard chains. These shard chains will allow the network to process multiple transactions in parallel, increasing the overall throughput of the system. Each shard will have its own set of validators and will be responsible for processing a subset of transactions. This will greatly improve scalability and enable Ethereum to handle a larger number of transactions per second. Additionally, Ethereum 2.0 will implement a new eWASM execution engine, which will improve the efficiency and speed of smart contract execution on the network.
