Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden stated that the Goerli testnet at the midst of speculation should be “slowly abandoned”.
The native asset GETH, which powers Ethereum testnet Goerli, has experienced a spike. According to Coinecko, GETH hit $1.60 on Saturday and is currently trading at around $0.31.

The fact that GETH, a test token, is listed on price monitoring sites may also be an indication that something is wrong. At this point, developers stop testing their applications due to new costs.
Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden said that after almost a year of discussions about how to fix the GETH supply, the easiest solution is to let Goerli “die slowly”.
Van der Wijden said in a statement: “This is the purpose of all testnets, they must live for several years. Then it gets harder and harder to sync them, so it doesn’t do much.” used the phrases.
According to Van der Wijden’s plan, what needs to be done is to slowly disable Goerli while moving users to the Sepolia testnet, an already running but permissioned chain.
Crypto project LayerZero has enabled trading between the mainnet and the Goerli testnet to speed up distribution among developers. This caused a speculative increase in the price of GETH.
