The Ropsten testnet, as one of the longest-lived proof-of-work (PoW) testnet on Ethereum, is set to run through The Merge around June 8.
As The Merge is set to occur in August, leading Ethereum developer, Tim Beiko announced on Tuesday that the Ropsten Beacon Chain had been launched as a testnet for Ethereum users. Ropsten will be the first longstanding testnet to run through The Merge, which marks the end of the PoW architecture of Ethereum.
For devs and validators, they can have a first glimpse into The Merge and what code-related problems they may encounter without affecting the mainnet., the “Bellatrix” upgrade, scheduled for June 2, will pave the foundation for The Merge. A few days after this, a metric known as the Terminal Total Difficulty that measures mining difficulty will be determined by miners to trigger the transition. Miners will then need to configure their nodes with the given value.
