Since He was able to return from the Amphoras melting workshop, customer teams have been busy testing and deploying the latest version of the merge specs on their development networks.

After four short-lived developments, Kintsugi 🍵, the public testnet with the longest-running history is now live!

While We encourage our community to use the UX and client development, Kintsugi Get to know them. Ethereum In a context after merger. For application developers, As mentioned above, they won’t be changing much. Tools The execution layer or consensus layer that only interact with it are also unaffected. The Infrastructure that relies on both layers of infrastructure will most likely require adaptation to support. The Merge.

We We recommend that projects start prototyping and testing on the first day. Kintsugi You can catch potential problems early. In So, it is easier to make changes to specifications or clients in the future.

Utilizing Kintsugi

Check out the Kintsugi Home page to find out how you can interact with the Kintsugi network. You’ll You will find network configurations and a faucet. A block explorer is also available. The JSON-RPC endpoint can be found along with updated documentation that reflects the supported combinations for execution layer > client.

Upcoming Steps

The Kintsugi Testnet allows the community to test out post-merger procedures Ethereum Begin to identify and fix any problems. Once The feedback has been integrated into the client software specifications. A final series of testnets is then released. In Parallel to this, testing will continue to expand.

After This will enable existing testnets that have been running for a long time to continue their work. The Merge. Once These have been updated and are stable. The next step is to move the Ethereum mainnet to proof of stake 🎊.
