Progress towards Ethereum's Merge continues unabated. Both Ropsten and Sepolia testnets are now running in post-Merge mode. Goerli is the last testnet to undergo the process, after which it will be mainnet's turn.

On top of preparing the block explorer for the Merge, in June Etherscan has worked on improving popular features such as the Watch List and Method filter.

This month, our analysis takes an updated look at the price charts shared in early 2021. The quiz touches on Ethereum testnets - answer it to receive a chance of winning $10 in ETH!
