Sepolia will be the second of three public testnets to run through The Merge. The network will transition to proof-of-stake when the total difficulty on the proof-of-work chain exceeds 17,000,000,000,000,000, […]

It does not add additional functionality beyond this. Sepolia node operators […]

The TTD is based on Proof-of-Work difficulty and is thus a bit hard […]
