We are thrilled to announce that Zeeve has integrated support for Ethereum’s Holesky testnet. This latest development enables developers and businesses to deploy dedicated Holesky testnet nodes and access high-speed API endpoints seamlessly within minutes. The integration is designed to streamline testing and development processes, offering a robust environment that closely mirrors Ethereum mainnet functionalities.
Holesky testnet represents a significant upgrade from the previous Goerli testnet, providing improved performance and reliability for Ethereum developers. Although initially scheduled for a mid-September release, Holesky officially launched on September 28th following brief technical adjustments. Users can now leverage this testnet on Zeeve for various purposes, including staking simulations, infrastructure validation, and direct protocol testing—all within a development setting that replicates mainnet conditions.
For builders focused on decentralized applications (dApps), smart contracts, and other Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) related tasks, Sepolia testnet will continue to serve as a primary option. However, Holesky introduces a more advanced testing ground for complex workflows.
“Ethereum remains a foundational platform for developers, and providing comprehensive support for Holesky testnet is essential. This includes reliable RPC nodes, secure API endpoints, and accessible plugins and SDKs. Our commitment is to equip users with the necessary tools and resources as they transition to Holesky, while maintaining full support for Sepolia testnet and Ethereum mainnet.”
— Dr. Ravi Chamria, co-founder and CEO of Zeeve
It is important to note that the Goerli testnet will be phased out by the Ethereum community by the end of 2023. Zeeve will align with this timeline and discontinue its support for Goerli accordingly.

Advantages of Using Holesky Testnet
Holesky offers several improvements over older testnets like Goerli. It supports larger validator sets, enhances network stability, and provides a more scalable testing framework. These features make it ideal for validators, dApp developers, and enterprises requiring a reliable testing ecosystem.
For projects involving staking mechanisms, smart contracts, or layer-2 solutions, Holesky enables thorough testing without incurring mainnet costs. Its alignment with mainnet behavior reduces unexpected issues during deployment.
How to Get Started with Holesky on Zeeve
Getting started is straightforward. Users can navigate to the Zeeve platform, select Holesky testnet from the available protocols, and choose their preferred node configuration. The process requires no coding expertise, thanks to Zeeve’s no-code deployment capabilities.
Once deployed, developers can access endpoints, monitor node performance, and integrate testing into their continuous development workflows.
Transitioning from Goerli to Holesky
With Goerli’s deprecation approaching, developers are encouraged to migrate their testing activities to Holesky or Sepolia. Zeeve provides detailed documentation and support to facilitate this transition, ensuring minimal disruption to development cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Holesky testnet?
Holesky is Ethereum’s latest testnet, designed to replace Goerli. It offers enhanced scalability, a larger validator set, and improved reliability for testing smart contracts, dApps, and staking protocols.
How does Holesky differ from Sepolia?
While both are testnets, Holesky is optimized for complex validator testing and large-scale simulations, whereas Sepolia remains suited for general dApp and contract development. Holesky also provides closer mainnet parity.
Can I still use Goerli testnet?
Goerli will be phased out by end of 2023. Developers should transition to Holesky or Sepolia for ongoing testing needs.
Is Holesky suitable for staking tests?
Yes, Holesky is ideal for staking trials due to its support for a substantial number of validators and mainnet-like conditions.
