Rinkeby and Ropsten Testnet Explorers to Be Deprecated on October 5th

Ethereum browser Etherscan tweeted that the Rinkeby and Ropsten testnet explorers will be deprecated on October 5th, 2022. The explorers will be set to read-only for the foreseeable future and will eventually be sunset. Developers are advised to migrate the contracts and deploy the new contracts on Goerli or Sepolia. Previously, the Ethereum Foundation announced that the Ethereum merge testnet Kiln will be shut down this week, and Ropsten and Rinkeby are scheduled to be sunset in Q4 2022 and Q3 2023 respectively.
