According to Ethereum developers, Holesky is the first long-standing, merged-from-genesis, public Ethereum testnet. Holesky will replace Goerli as a staking, infrastructure, and protocol-developer testnet.
In order to use Nethermind with this new chain, users need to run different configs for the Snap Synced node and archival mode setup. Then follow with running a consensus layer client that supports the Holesky network.
Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko earlier stated the popular Goerli testnet will eventually shut down as application developers’ usage grew exponentially, making it less reliable for future upgrades.
In a recent Execution Layer Meeting, core developers revealed some testing updates from Devnet-8 and Holesky testnet.
