Press Release

Morph, an Ethereum layer 2 leading a Consumer Blockchain revolution, has announced the launch of its latest advancement, its Holesky Testnet. This new development comes on the heels of their successful Morph Sepolia Testnet and introduces a highly anticipated platform that showcases significant improvements in blockchain infrastructure and application.

Already known for its commitment to consumer-centric solutions, Morph stands as a unique player in the space by focusing on real-world utility over the often speculative nature of many blockchain applications. Unlike traditional platforms that prioritize DeFi and trading, Morph aims to provide services that people can use daily, making blockchain technology an integral part of everyday life. The launch of the Holesky Testnet with its enhanced capabilities is a crucial step towards realizing this vision, bridging the gap between sophisticated technology and practical, everyday applications. 

Key Features and Innovations of the Morph Holesky Testnet:

Enhanced Performance and Infrastructure

The Holesky Testnet operates using Ethereum Holesky as Layer 1, elevating standards for performance and aligning closely with the infrastructure of the anticipated mainnet. This transition promises users a seamless and advanced preview of what to expect with the full launch.

Advanced Features

• EIP-4844 Optimistic zkEVM Integration: This integration significantly reduces transaction costs, making blockchain operations more efficient.

• Revamped Bridge Mechanism: The updated bridge mechanism now allows for withdrawals to be finalized in just one transaction, enhancing the user experience.

• Robust Decentralized Sequencer Network: With fully decentralized modules and an increased number of sequencers, the network's backbone is stronger than ever, ensuring unparalleled reliability and security.

Economic System Innovations

The testnet introduces a novel economic model centered around a decentralized sequencer network, positioning Morph to set new market trends and standards.

Impact on the Morph Community

For testnet users, prior contributions to the Sepolia testnet are well recorded. Users are now encouraged to transition to the Holesky testnet to benefit from lower fees and superior functionality.

For developers, Morph recommends migrating contracts from the Sepolia to the Holesky testnet. Detailed guidance on this process can be found here. The explorer is accessible for tracking deployments and interactions at Holesky Testnet Explorer.
