On September 15th, the Ethereum team plans to launch a new testnet, Holešky, to replace Goerli.

The Ethereum development team announced the upcoming launch of a new testnet called Holešky, which is intended to replace Goerli before its deprecation at the end of 2023. The genesis event is tentatively scheduled for September 15, 2023 at 22:00 and will become the first long-term public Ethereum testnet merged from genesis, with an expected lifespan of 3-5 years. Holešky will replace Goerli as the testnet for staking, infrastructure, and protocol development. Decentralized applications (DApps) testing, smart contracts, and other EVM features will be available for testing on the Sepolia testnet. The Holešky network is named after the Nádraží Holešovice train station in Prague, Czech Republic. Similarly, Goerli is named after the Goerlitzer Bahnhof station in Berlin, and September 15 is the one-year anniversary of Ethereum’s merge.

Currently, Ethereum has two public testnets: Sepolia allows developers to test contracts and applications; Goerli allows protocol developers to test network upgrades and allows stakeholders to test running validators. According to the newly proposed Ethereum testnet lifecycle plan, Goerli will enter long-term support phase in the first quarter of 2023. After the end-of-life date (scheduled for the fourth quarter of this year), it will no longer receive support from client teams. Therefore, the next testnet should be launched by the end of 2023 to prepare for the closure of Goerli.
