Ethereum (ETH)’s third and largest testnet, Holesky, crashed due to a glitch that occurred shortly after launch.
Ethereum developers 15 September took action to implement the third and most advanced test network in its history. The Merge This chain step, which was started on the anniversary of the update, did not reach the desired result due to an error that occurred. could not reach.
Some Ethereum validators manually fixed the bug on the Holesky testnet and launched the chain. However, shortly after the network was activated, it failed again and could not reach the Finality required to be fully active. Development team testnet next week Will try to relaunch stated.
Holesky testnet, existing goerli And Sepolia came after the testnets. Holesky, which aims to improve the test environment on Ethereum, also provides solutions to some problems in other test networks. However, thanks to this test network, the team is able to prevent problems that may occur on the main network. scaling issues It aims to pre-capture on the testnet.
In order for Holesky to address scaling issues on the main network, 1.46 million validators it should. This is the network that currently plays a role in the Ethereum network. 700 thousand the validator doubled It coincides.
Holesky, who found a solution to the insufficient testnet Ethereum liquidity, especially in the Goerli testnet, 1.6 billion testnet ETH liquidity will present.
In this way, this new test network, which is expected to solve the problems that developers encounter when supplying testnet ETH in existing networks, also supports Ethereum smart contracts. It also makes the testing process simpler and more fluid. will bring it together.
