There are also three current public test implementations of Ethereum. The recommended testnet with long-term support is Goerli. Sepolia is also expected to be maintained for the foreseeable future, but the validator set is permissioned meaning there is no general access to new validators on this testnet. The Ropsten chain is expected to be deprecated.

There are also two maintained public test implementations of Ethereum: Goerli and Sepolia. The recommended testnet with long-term support is Goerli, which anyone is free to validate on. Sepolia is a newer, smaller chain also expected to be maintained for the foreseeable future, with a permissioned validator set (meaning there is no general access to new validators on this testnet). The Ropsten chain is expected to be deprecated in Q4 2022, and the Rinkeby chain is expected to be deprecated in Q2/Q3 2023.
