Ethereum Foundation: Ethereum Sepolia Testnet Expected to Merge in the Coming Days

The Ethereum Foundation released the announcement of the Sepolia testnet merger. Sepolia is ready for the merger and will transition to proof-of-stake when the total difficulty on the proof-of-work chain exceeds 17,000,000,000,000,000, which is expected to occur around in the next few days. Assuming no issues are found with Sepolia, once client testing is complete, Ethereum’s other EL testnet, Goerli, will run through The Merge with the Prater CL testnet. Once Goerli/Prater have successfully transitioned and stabilized, an epoch will be chosen for the Bellatrix upgrade on the mainnet Beacon Chain and a difficulty value will be set for the mainnet transition.
