Ethereum core developers announced plans to terminate support for the Holesky testnet in September 2025, introducing a new testnet, Hoodi, as a replacement. Holesky experienced interruptions during the Pectra upgrade testing, and although recovery efforts achieved finality, validator exits still faced challenges. Hoodi will activate the Pectra upgrade on March 26 and is expected to launch the mainnet in the second quarter. In the future, staking operators and infrastructure providers will turn to Hoodi for validator testing, driving the continued development of the Ethereum ecosystem.
