Ethereum to suspend the support for Holesky Testnet in September

ethereum developers are discontinuing the support for the Holesky Network in September due to the massive validators output, after the interruptions during the tong update test.

According to him <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/03/18/hoodi-holesky” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>Recent announcement In the blog of the ethereum Foundation, the developer support for the ethereum Holesky Testnet (eth) will be suspended this September. Until then, developers will be able to try deposits, consolidations and other pein characteristics in Holesky. However, developers are advised that they do not use Holsky to test the validator outputs because the exit tail is too long, which slows down the test process. Instead, the output validator test must be carried out in the new Hoodi Testsnet, which will activate the sicking update on March 26.

The decision to suspend support for Holesky occurs after important problems arose during the sirty update tests, which leads to a massive validates output of the network. Although Holesky is now functional again, the process of eliminating all successful validators will take approximately one year, which prevents the use of the test network for the test scenarios that involve validity outputs.

Holesky's sun is remarkable, since it has served as an important network for proof of the update functions of the ethereum Network for more than 2 years, since its launch in September 2023. The end of life is scheduled for September 30. However, the test network could be <a target="_blank" href="https://blog.ethereum.org/2025/03/18/hoodi-holesky” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>reused For the gas limit increases and other protocol tests.

Priori to Holesky, the developers of ethereum had already been attenuated several test bags, namely Kill, Rinkebery, Ropsten and Goerli.
