In a significant breakthrough for Ethereum, the Ropsten public testnet is scheduled for the “Merge” next month.
The “Merge” refers to merging the current Proof-of-Work (PoW) chain with the beacon chain Proof-of-Stake (PoS) system. It signals an end to PoW on Ethereum, leading to a new, more scalable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly future.
According to Core Dev @preston_vanloon, the rollout is scheduled for June 8.
Ropsten testnet is getting merged on June 8!
Merging Ropsten is a huge testing milestone towards Ethereum’s mainnet merge later this year. https://t.co/X7eLIMA72g

Ethereum devs previously said the mainnet Merge would happen in June, but in April, dev Tim Beiko announced on Twitter that the upgrade is being delayed to late 2022.
“It won’t be June, but likely in the few months after. No firm date yet, but we’re definitely in the final chapter of PoW on Ethereum.”
