The rehearsal for the merger of blockchains on the PoW and PoS consensys algorithms of the Ethereum testnet called Ropsten will last from June 2 to 8, developer Tim Beiko has announced.

Ropsten is one of the oldest PoW testnets whose working conditions are close to real ones. The event will be a test of system performance before the full transition to Ethereum 2.0 takes place.

A similar update is expected by Goerli and Sepolia, which are other testnets. After that, developers will focus on the mainnet.

The Beacon Chain PoS network, which was launched to merge with Ropsten, will have to go through the Bellatrix upgrade. In the future, node operators will need to set new equipment parameters.
