The much awaited Ethereum (ETH) merge is just around the corner. The developers have decided to shift their focus to maintain just two testnets after the shift to proof-of-stake.
The testnets labeled as ‘suitable’ for the merge are Goerli and Sepolia. The client developers have also decided to deprecate other testnets to stay focused on just the two mentioned testnets in a long run.
The merge is expected to take place around the third quarter of this year. As per the Ethereum foundation, the Gray Glacier Upgrade for block 15,050,000 is expected to take place by the end of June 2022.
The blockchain recently launched the merge on the Sepolia testnet, after a succesful Ropsten launch earlier this year.
These Testnets Will Not Survive The Merge
The foundation has made it clear in its latest blog that it will be deprecating the other testnets except for Goerli and Sepolia.
