Zircuit is heating up for Pectra with the launch of Garfield, its latest testnet, kicking off the week of February 24, 2025. This upgrade introduces full support for all Cancun opcodes, prepares for the Pectra upgrade, and delivers a high-performance prover capable of proving all blocks more efficiently.
Garfield Testnet: Advancing Ethereum Scaling
The Garfield testnet serves as a crucial testing ground for Pectra-related updates, set for Zircuit mainnet integration in March 2025. Key improvements include:
New Network, Fresh Setup Required
Garfield is a brand-new network with no prior testnet history. Developers must update their configurations, including a new chain ID and RPC endpoint. The testnet features a dedicated bridge front end and block explorer:
All relevant details will be published in the official documentation before launch.
Transition Plan: Sunsetting of Current Testnet
The existing Zircuit testnet will sunset on May 31, 2025. Users must withdraw any Sepolia ETH or testnet assets before the transition. An escape hatch will be activated before sunset, allowing withdrawals after May 31, 2025.
Garfield Update Coming to Zircuit Mainnet
Zircuit will implement Garfield updates on the mainnet in March 2025, ahead of Pectra’s Ethereum mainnet activation. This transition will occur seamlessly, with no anticipated downtime or user action required.
For real-time updates, users can follow @ZircuitL2 on X or join their Discord.

Looking Ahead
Zircuit remains committed to continuous innovation and seamless user experience.
