Tim Beiko: Holesky will resolve the upgrade failure through slash, and the upgrade time of Sepolia testnet will remain unchanged

On February 28, Tim Beiko, head of protocol support at the Ethereum Foundation, updated the information on the Holesky testnet Pectra upgrade failure. Beiko said that a large-scale slash (penalty) will be performed on the Holesky testnet tonight to finalize the correct block on the chain, and the entire duration may last for 2-3 weeks until the weight of validators suffering from the slash falls below 33% of the network. Beiko also mentioned that the upgrade time of the Sepolia testnet will not change, providing a longer test cycle for the mainnet upgrade. Mainnet upgrade issues will be discussed at next week's ACDC meeting, but a specific date is unlikely.
