After the overall success of the testnet Medalla, Ethereum Foundation, the non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Ethereum and related technologies, would like to launch another public testnet for developer, engineers and community in general, before the proper Mainnet launch (probably in November?). This operation would be risky, because the potential leak of momentum that a net swap could cause. So EF opted for a shortlived dress rehearsal parallel running to Medalla that will go live by the end of September, Spadina.
Spadina's main objective is to allow community to go through the difficult part of genesis and deposits, before reaching Mainnet.
If you want to join Spadina keep in mind that will have a 3-days end of life (EOL).
