The internet security and DDoS platform Cloudflare revealed its support for the much anticipated Ethereum Merge event by announcing that its Ethereum gateways now support the Goerli and Sepolia test networks.
Testnet support by Cloudflare will ensure reliability, feasibility, and security in implementing changes before deploying to the Ethereum Mainnet.
The testnets allow users to design and test decentralized applications (dApps) along with network improvements.

In order to promote the Ethereum ecosystem, Cloudflare also announced that it would deprecate Rinkeby signer operations. According to the deadline established by the Ethereum Foundation, support for the Rinkeby testnet will terminate on January 15, 2023.
The Ethereum Foundation also advised users and developers to switch to the Sepolia or Goerli testnets. The testnets for the Ethereum Merge, Kiln, Ropsten, and Rinkeby, will shortly be deprecated and shut down.
The Ethereum Merge successfully took place today. Ethereum’s Mainnet has been replaced with the Beacon Chain, marking its transition from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake.
