Client: Kiln🔥🧱 Tracking Issue #1703
Description
Kiln🔥🧱 – the last Merge sprint before launching pre-production testnets. Kiln aims to move client implementations into the production readiness stage.
Please note: EthereumJS does not aim to contend as a production mainnet client, but rather participating to ensure compatibility for downstream users of our libraries.
