The group of developers behind the Ethereum project plan to transfer the Goerli testnet to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus algorithm when the cumulative network difficulty reaches 10,790,000.
Just like happens with other testnets, the merger will take place in several stages. The developers have already deployed Prater, the consensus layer of the Beacon Chain blockchain.
The next step is to activate the Bellatrix update, which has been designed to prepare the latter for the merger. According to lead ETH developer Tim Beiko, this will happen at epoch #112 260, which the network will reach on August 4.
After the merger, the updated testnet will be called Paris.
