The Merge (ETH 2.0) succesfully happened on the Kiln testnet!

The kiln test network succesfully applied the merge and blocks are succesfully being validated.

Of course, issues are definitely to be expected with this merge test, but it definitely shows that we are getting closer and closer to the real thing happening on main net!

Next up: Merge on existing POW testnets: Goerli, Ropsten, etc... Then Mainnet!

LFG!

Edit :

So far only one minor issue - "minor issue with 1 client combination, currently investigating. Block explorer is lagging but the chain is progressing fine" -source https://twitter.com/dapplion/status/1503758669909045263
