Ethereum Merge Testnet Kiln to Shut Down Next Week
Ethereum Foundation announced that Kiln, an Ethereum merge testnet launched in early 2022, will be shut down during the week of September 12, 2022. Bootnodes and validators maintained by client and testing teams, as well as infrastructure providers, will be turned off at that point. Users and developers should migrate to Goerli and/or Sepolia. Ropsten and Rinkeby are also deprecated and scheduled to be sunset in Q4 2022 and Q3 2023 respectively.
