Ethereum Developers Announce Launch of New Testnet for Pectra Upgrade
According to BlockBeats, Ethereum core developers have announced the launch of a new testnet named 'Hooli' on March 17. This testnet aims to conduct the final testing phase for the Pectra upgrade, with plans to deploy it to the mainnet between late April and early May. Previous attempts to test Pectra on the Sepolia and Holesky testnets encountered failures due to configuration errors, with Holesky experiencing weeks of downtime. The Pectra test upgrade on Hooli is scheduled for March 26, and if successful, developers plan to initiate the mainnet upgrade 30 days later.
