Ethereum -Developers are planning the largest test network of the network, Holesky, to be replaced, which will be replaced by a new test environment called Hoodi.
In a March 19 Blog postThe Ethereum Foundation announced that it will stop the Holesky test network after the network was paralyzed last month by the long-awaited pectra upgrade.
Developers decided to expel Holesky after technical failures in February when Pectra was used for testing. The upgrade broke the Hilesky network and made its validator set unusable for weeks.
EF ieurs implemented a solution in March, but Holesky remained clogged. A similar problem took place on Sepolia, the second largest test environment of Ethereum (ETH), although developers could find a hotfix. Developers use these test nets to simulate networkup grades such as Pectra and implement error detections before they implement them on Ethereum’s Mainnet.
The Holesky network has been completed since then, but the exited validators would take about a year to be completely removed from the validator set. Although strikers can test deposits, consolidations and all other Pectra functions, the size of the output row prevents Holesky prevents the full validator cycle to test within a reasonable time frame.
Ef -blog message
In the future, a new test network called Hoodi Holesky will replace, said EF DevOps -Engineer Paritosh Jayanthi and EF -core coordinator Tim Beiko. DEVS is planning to test Pectra on Hoodi on March 26 as the last rehearsal for a Mainstet debut. If the test is planned, the EF Pectra could send to the main chain of ETH by 25 April.
The new testnet Hoodi is live! The testnet is aimed at being a stable location for staking operators and infra providers to test on.
