A new list of Ethereum Testnets replaces Holesky, the formerly massive staging field which was now preparing for the stop after two years of service.
The liquidation will occur two weeks after the finalization of the upgrade of Fusaka later this year, in which case the customer and the infrastructure teams will cease to provide support.
Fusaka is ready to make Ethereum Rollups cheaper and faster by disseminating “data storage work” more uniformly between validators.
Holesky was broadcast in 2023 on a large scale of Ethereum Ethereum proof. He quickly became the largest public test, offering thousands of validators a platform to test upgrades before being deployed on the Mainnet.
Major milestones, such as Dencun and Pectra upgrades – which lowered the transaction costs and improved the efficiency of the validator, among other characteristics – were executed by Holesky first.
However, cracks began to appear as the aged network. Holesky encountered “leaks of inactivity” after the activation of Pectra in early 2025, a term referring to the validators who deploy in large numbers, which created an important backlog for those who try to leave.
The result was queues of several months which made it impractical to test the validator’s full life cycle. For developers needing fast feedback loops, Holesky had become more a roadblock than a tool.
This is why Ethereum launched Hoodi in March 2025, a clean queue test designed to bypass Holesky problems while advancing its unmissable environmental role for validator and internship tests.
Alongside Hoodi, Sepolia continues to serve as a main test for Dapps (Decentralized applications) And smart contracts, while Ephemery offers rapid reset validator cycles every 28 days.
