The developers of the Ethereum Foundation have launched the Spadina testet. The three-day lifecycle network will be a general rehearsal for the launch of Ethereum 2.0.

Spadina will allow the network and deposit contract deployment processes to be re-run. The network will work in parallel with the current Medalla testet. In 3 days, the developers will stop supporting it.
At the time of writing, the level of validator participation is estimated at 40.3%. For steaking, 2,856 validators contributed 91,392 ETH tests.
Recall, the developers launched the final test network Medalla on August 4. Ten days later, there was a glitch, which Prysmatic Labs developer Raoul Jordan called a good lesson "to prevent this situation in the main network."
In September, developer Evan Van Ness said there were weeks left to launch Ethereum 2.0.
