Is Ethereum 2.0 still Ethereum?

“ETH2 is not a new coin and would not change the ETH amount one holds … ETH2 may end up becoming a rebranded version of the original Ether, without needing holders to swap one version for another.”

The Ethereum 2.0 rebranding efforts ended . Ethereum Foundation notes that the term “Eth2” “is being phased out in preparation for the merge.” The rebranding wants to avoid confusion and prevent scams due to multiple names of similar crypto.

Your existing ETH tokens will be transferable to the Ethereum 2 chain . The legacy proof-of-work Ethereum chain will continue alongside the new Ethereum 2 chain initially. At a later phase (1.5) the legacy chain will be incorporated into the Ethereum 2 blockchain as a shard.
