ChainCatcher message, Starknet posted on the X platform that the Starknet Goerli testnet will be deprecated on April 11, and users are advised to migrate to Sepolia as soon as possible.

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko recorded the latest ACDE meeting content on social media, stating that the Dencun upgrade is progressing smoothly, with no major issues observed.Additionally, all upgraded EIPs will be transferred to the final version next week. Goerli will be "officially" shut down next month. Most validators have already shut down.The meeting then discussed the upcoming fork Pectra, where Stokes raised some design questions regarding the EIP-2537 BLS precompile, which has been included in the fork.

ChainCatcher message, Mantle Network announced that its Goerli testnet is scheduled for an upgrade on February 28 at 9:00 AM Beijing time. The upgrade is expected to take approximately four hours, during which RPC services, the Goerli Testnet browser, and cross-chain bridges will be temporarily unavailable, and the network will stop generating new blocks. After the successful upgrade of Mantle Network's Goerli testnet, support for the Goerli testnet will be suspended on March 8 at 8:00 AM.It is reported that the Mantle Network v2 Sepolia testnet is now online, and users are advised to migrate to the Sepolia testnet as soon as possible.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs announced on social media that Optimism plans to take down the OP Goerli testnet on March 7.OP Labs stated that they have been working with partners for several months to streamline the transition from OP Goerli to OP Sepolia, in order to encourage users with testing and development needs to migrate to the fully supported OP Sepolia testnet.

ChainCatcher message, Lido official stated on X platform that after February 29, Lido will no longer support the Goerli testnet, and all future testnet activities will be moved to Holesky.

ChainCatcher news, Starknet announced that it will conduct stress testing on the Starknet Goerli testnet. The test will start at 17:00 (UTC+8) and is planned to last for several hours. This testing may cause congestion on the Starknet Goerli testnet, which could lead to longer waiting times before transactions are executed on the testnet. The testing will only take place on the Starknet Goerli testnet. Other networks, including the mainnet and Sepolia testnet, will not be affected.

ChainCatcher news, Base developer Roberto Bayardo stated that Base and OP Labs have activated the Ecotone hard fork on their respective Goerli development networks and have enabled the functionality to publish batch transactions via EIP-4844 blobs today.

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum core developer parithosh stated on social media that the Goerli fork has been finalized. After the fix patch, validators are back online, and the chain has started finalizing again. The MEV breaker is automatically disabled, and MEV blocks have also started operating.In addition, the number of blobs submitted to the network is normal.

ChainCatcher news, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko tweeted that the Ethereum Goerli testnet has completed the Dencun hard fork upgrade.

ChainCatcher news, according to the official blog of the Ethereum Foundation, the Dencun network upgrade is scheduled to activate on January 17, 2024, at 14:32 (Beijing time) on the Goerli testnet. If no significant issues are found during this process, the upgrade will continue on the Sepolia and Holesky testnets. Once Dencun runs smoothly on all three testnets, mainnet activation will be arranged.This upgrade is another significant step following last year's Shapella upgrade, and it will introduce multiple changes. The most notable change is the implementation of EIP-4844, which introduces temporary data blobs (also known as "protodanksharding") aimed at reducing L2 transaction fees.

ChainCatcher news, OP Labs announced on social media that the deprecation of the Ethereum Goerli testnet, originally scheduled for early January, has been postponed and will cease maintenance after the Dencun upgrade on January 17. However, developers are still advised to migrate from OP Goerli to OP Sepolia as soon as possible to prepare for this change.

ChainCatcher news, last night, the 178th Ethereum Core Developers Execution Meeting (ACDE #178) was held online. According to the minutes taken by the meeting host Lightclients, the activation date for the Dencun upgrade on the Goerli testnet has been set for January 17. Additionally, the developers have tentatively agreed to set January 30 and February 7 as the upgrade dates for the Sepolia testnet and Holesky testnet, respectively.However, some developers expressed concerns that the upgrade interval between the Goerli testnet and the Sepolia testnet is too short, which may not be sufficient to observe potential issues. In response, Lightclients stated that ACDE #179 is scheduled to be held on January 18. If any issues arise within the first 24 hours after the Goerli testnet upgrade, the developers will have the opportunity to revisit the subsequent schedule arrangements.

ChainCatcher news, during the bi-weekly call on Thursday, Ethereum developers discussed their goal to have the Goerli test network (testnet) running through Dencun by January 17. This will be a highly anticipated upgrade that will implement "proto-danksharding," thereby reducing Layer 2 aggregation fees and expanding the blockchain by increasing the space for data "blobs."Tim Beiko, the Ethereum Foundation's protocol support lead, stated during the call: "Clearly, if we discover any major issues or crazy things before then, we can cancel at any time. This means ideally we would publish a fork blog post sometime during the week of January 8, so that people have at least a week to update."

ChainCatcher message, Ethereum core developer timbeiko.eth summarized the 176th ACDE meeting on social media. Developers discussed the status of Dencun, the timeline for the testnet, and how to plan for the upcoming network upgrades.According to the meeting discussions, Devnet #12 was launched last week, and almost all clients are running on it. Bugs were found and fixed in several clients, including Reth and Lighthouse. Meanwhile, the development team is ready to fork the testnet and plans to conduct a major Goerli shadow fork in the coming weeks. Developers unanimously agreed that if things go smoothly, they will set the Goerli fork date for early 2024, aiming to activate Dencun on the network in January.Additionally, the last ACDE meeting of 2023 will be held on December 21 at 22:00 Beijing time.

ChainCatcher message, the Ethereum Foundation updates that the Ethereum testnet Goerli will support dynamic changes. In the coming months, Ethereum's first multi-client testnet Goerli will stop receiving support from clients and the EF testing team. The Dencun network upgrade will be the last upgrade implemented on this network. Three months after the activation of Dencun on Goerli or one month after the activation of Dencun on the mainnet, the team will begin to phase out Goerli validators. In addition, the team plans to take this opportunity to test delayed finality, inactive leaks, and large-scale slashing. Goerli is currently expected to be the first testnet to activate the Dencun upgrade.
