The first update to the Ethereum 2.0 network will take place in October

Ethereum 2.0 developers have announced that the first Beacon Chain Altair mainnet update is scheduled for October 27th.

According to a tweet from developer Danny Ryan, the update will provide support for the light client, fix problems with incentives for validators, and also adjust penalties in accordance with EIP-2982.

Altair will be followed by the removal of a difficulty bomb, which will increase the difficulty of mining. This will be followed by a full upgrade to PoS. 

Altair is a kind of dress rehearsal for the merger, which brings it closer to the Ethereum 2.0 update itself.
