Ethereum testnet Beacon Chain launched and ready for trial merge
The Sepolia testnet is the next in line after Ropsten to undergo a merge trial run since its Beacon Chain is now live.
Upon merging with its dedicated Beacon Chain, the Sepolia testnet will begin reaching consensus using proof-of-stake (PoS) rather than proof-of-work (PoW), which will provide data on what may happen when the Ethereum mainnet performs its merge. The exact date of the Sepolia merge has not been determined.
