Prater, the Ethereum beacon chain testnet, has now completed the network upgrade Bellatrix on the consensus layer (the first step of the Goerli/Prater merger). After activating Bellatrix, the next step in the Goerli/Prater merger is the Paris executive layer transition upgrade, which is expected to take place between August 6-12, 2022 UTC (total difficulty 10790000). Previously, the Ethereum Foundation stated that assuming that no problems are found during the Goerli/Prater merger process, after the client releases a fully functional version, the slot height will be selected for the Bellatrix upgrade on the mainnet beacon chain, and the transition to the mainnet will be set total difficulty value, after which the client will publish a version that initiates the merge on mainnet.
