On Thursday, during a conference call, Ethereum (ETH) developers proposed a permanent merger date. Tim Beiko, a core Ethereum engineer who oversees core protocol meetings, suggested September 19 as a possible merger goal date during the conference call. The core developers raised no objections to the recommended merge date.

Sepolia's testnet Beacon Chain went live earlier this year, laying the stage for its Merge dress rehearsal and providing Ethereum network engineers with important technical information. On July 7, The Sepolia and the network finally united. The Goerli network will host Merge's last trial, slated for the second week of August. The formal Merge, scheduled for the second half of September, would become a priority for developers following its merging.
