Ethereum Testnet Beacon Chain Is Live: Ready for Merge Trial Run

Ethereum Testnet Beacon Chain Is Live; Ready for Merge Trial Run

June 21, 2022 by Goku

Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet Beacon Chain has gone online, paving the way for a merging dress rehearsal that will provide Ethereum network engineers with crucial technical information.

The Sepolia testnet will commence establishing consensus utilizing proof-of-stake (PoS) instead of proof-of-work (PoW) after combining with its specialized Beacon Chain, providing evidence on what could occur when the mainnet merges.

Testnet merges are crucial for Ethereum developers

The exact date of the Sepolia merger has yet to be determined. Testnet merges are required for Ethereum developers and standalone project developers to comprehend what to anticipate when the mainnet merges.

The ETH mainnet merging will see the whole network migrate to PoS consensus, similar to the testnets, and should lower ETH’s energy usage by 99.9%.

In October of 2021, Sepolia made its debut. In April, Tim Beiko, a core Ethereum engineer, revealed that the Ropsten testnet would be decommissioned and eventually replaced with Sepolia. As a result, projects that use Ropsten have been encouraged to switch to Sepolia in order to avoid problems.

For example, Sepolia and Ropsten are public testnets that are designed to simulate the functioning characteristics of their respective mainnets without creating any disturbances to the mainnet. Ropsten, the longest-running testnet, was founded in 2016. It went through a merging trial run on June 8, which was the first of its sort for Ethereum.

Multiple times, the official mainnet merging date has been pushed back. It is now slated to be finished by August 2022, although that deadline might be pushed back significantly due to a concurrent delay in the difficulty bomb. When it’s completed, it’ll create the Consensus Layer, which was previously known as Ethereum 2.0.

The difficulty bomb is a functionality of the ETH network that disincentivizes miners who use physical devices by dramatically raising the difficulty of creating a new block.
