As the transition to Eth2 edges closer, Ethereum developers have launched a program for non-technical users and technical users alike to help test the upcoming Beacon Chain merge.

Ethereum developers have put out a call to the community to help test the long-awaited merge between the Ethereum mainnet and the proof-of-stake (PoS) based Beacon Chain.

The merge is a major milestone of the transition to Ethereum 2.0 as it will see the Ethereum network become a PoS blockchain, decreasing its energy consumption by 99%.

On Monday, Ethereum developer Marius van der Wijden announced a new program to get the community involved in merge testing that caters to three tiers: non-technical users, developers with limited experience in blockchain, and highly technical and experienced blockchain developers.

Testing is the best way to contribute to #Ethereum. We are starting a new program to get the community involved in testing the merge.
