Ethereum Developers Set to Deprecate Holesky Testnet by September 2025

COINOTAG News reports on March 19 that Ethereum’s core developers are set to terminate support for the Holesky testnet by September 2025, signaling a significant transition towards its deprecation. This move aligns with industry norms where the deprecation of test networks is standard practice; Ethereum previously phased out Kiln, Ropsten, and Rinkeby in 2022, followed by the discontinuation of Goerli last year. Launched in September 2023, Holesky serves as one of Ethereum’s pivotal testnets, alongside Sepolia. It has played a crucial role in the advancement of staking, infrastructure, and protocol development. As Ethereum continues to evolve, the transition away from Holesky underlines the platform’s commitment to optimizing its testing environment, ensuring robust development practices.
