The Ethereum 2.0 developers have published a tool on GitHub to generate the keys needed to make a staking deposit in Ethereum 2.0.
On the night of November 4, the Ethereum 2.0 developers published a tool for creating an ETH 2.0 deposit contract on GitHub. The launch of the deposit contract will allow sending ETH from Ethereum 1.0 to Ethereum 2.0. This has brought the launch of phase 0 of the new version of the network one step closer.

The Escrow Contract Tool is a key step towards the rollout of Ethereum 2.0 Phase 0. The deposit contract was successfully verified at the beginning of the year. It will allow validators to join the Beacon Chain by sending ETH to the contract. The published code allows you to generate the keys required to make a deposit in Ethereum 2.0. Phase 0 deployment will begin after the launch of the deposit contract.
Recall that recently the developer of the Ethereum Foundation Danny Ryan said that the launch of the deposit contract will take place in the first half of November. The contract must first receive approval following an audit of the BLST cryptographic library by the auditing firm NCC Group.
