The Seporia Testnet Beacon Chain is up and running and ready for a merged dress rehearsal to provide valuable technical insights to Ethereum network developers.
When merged with a dedicated beacon chain, Seporia Testnet has a Proof of Stake (PoS) rather than a Proof of Work (PoW) that provides data on what happens when the Ethereum mainnet performs a merge. Use to start reaching consensus.

The exact date of the Seporia merger has not been determined.
Testnet merging is essential for understanding what Ethereum developers and independent project developers using the Ethereum network can expect when the actual merging takes place. As with the testnet, the integration of Ethereum’s mainnet should move the entire network to PoS consensus and reduce Ethereum’s energy consumption by 99.9%.
Seporia was launched in October 2021.Core Ethereum developer Tim Beiko Confirmed In April, the Ropsten testnet will be phased out over time and replaced by Sepolia. Therefore, projects running apps in Ropsten are required to move their work to Seporia to avoid complexity.
Public testnets such as Sepolia and Ropsten are designed to replicate the operating conditions of each mainnet without affecting the live mainnet. Ropsten is the longest-lasting testnet launched in 2016. The merge took place on June 8th, and the Ethereum merge trial was first run.
The official merge date for the Ethereum Mainnet has been postponed several times. It is currently scheduled to be completed by August 2022, but the date may be further delayed due to a separate delay in the difficulty bomb. When complete, a consensus layer, formerly known as Ethereum 2.0, will be generated.
Difficulty bombs are a feature of the Ethereum network, which greatly increases the difficulty of creating new blocks and discourages ETH miners using physical devices.
