Ethereum Gateway support for Görli + Sepolia Testnets and the Ethereum Merge

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has announced support for Ethereum Merge and its gateways now support Görli and Sepolia test networks (testnets). These testnets can be used to test and develop full decentralized applications or test upgrades before deploying on the mainnet Ethereum network. The Ethereum Foundation has executed merges on multiple testnets to ensure that the actual mainnet merge will occur with minimal disruption, and Cloudflare's Testnet Gateway handled the Görli-Prater merge without issue. The Merge is a significant upgrade to the Ethereum network, changing the consensus method from Proof of Work to Proof of Stake, which promises to speed up transactions and lower costs.
