Ethereum Network Successfully Completed Sepolia Merge Trial

• Next week, the Goerli network will have a final Merge test.
• the Merge, will minimize ETH emission and improve network energy efficiency.

Sepolia, Ethereum’s public test network, has completed its second-to-last significant Merge trial, clearing the door for the adoption of the Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus. Even though it was generally considered a success, there were a few mishaps. Next week, the Goerli network will have a final Merge test before it can be approved for use in an official Merge on Ethereum.

Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano announced on Twitter on Wednesday that the Merge transition successfully migrated to the Sepolia testnet and that the network would be watched for a few more days.

Ethereum Merger 2.0 Closer

Ethereum’s second public Merge testnet, Sepolia, was successfully launched on Ropsten earlier last month. It will then be tested on the Goerli testnet before being rolled over to the Ethereum mainnet. The Goerli debut is anticipated in the next few weeks, even though the Merge shipment date has not yet been set.

To put it another way, “The Merge” refers to the docking of Ethereum’s Beacon Chain and its Proof-of-Work execution layer. As part of the transition from Ethereum’s Proof-of-Work consensus method to Proof-of-Stake, the two levels have been combined in each testnet. Ethereum will no longer rely on miners for consensus once the mainnet is live and instead employ validators who have staked ETH.

An anticipated event for the Ethereum network, the Merge, will minimize ETH emission and improve network energy efficiency by over 99 percent. As a result, shard chains, the next step of scaling Ethereum’s objectives, will be put in motion with the adoption of Layer 2 solutions like ZK-Rollups.
