Ethereum’s Holesky Set to Replace Goerli Testnet in 2023

As reported by Tim Beiko, a core developer, during the Ethereum Execution Layer Meeting 168, Parithosh Jayanthi shared an update on the recently launched devnet-8. Beiko mentioned that while some clients faced challenges, most have been addressed or are being fixed. Notably, Lighthouse encountered a problem due to nplex support removal – an issue they plan to resolve.

Furthermore, Beiko revealed that Ethereum JS rectified a bug related to multiple “forkChoiceUpdated calls” during block production. Pre-launch glitches in Geth and Nethermind were identified and corrected. The Ethereum developer also stated that the Ethereum Foundation’s Devops team joined forces with Kurtosis Tech for pre-launch testing and anticipates utilizing it in augmenting test scenarios.
