Ethereum 'Merge' edging closer with final Kiln testnet launch

The much-anticipated 'integration' of the Ethereum network is another step towards becoming a reality after the launch of the final public testnet kiln to make it dynamic.

On March 14, the Ethereum Foundation called on network stakeholders to conduct tests using Kiln to ensure a smooth transition to existing public testnets.

Ethereum developer Tim Beiko has confirmed that Kiln is live and will be ready to join Beacon Chain in a March 14 tweet. Testnet was launched in proof-of-work mode only last weekend.
