Support sepolia for AlchemyProvider?

[xinbenlv]

Describe the Feature

Hi ethers community and Ric,

My teammate @samishal1998 noticed that the ether (v5) 's AlchemyProvider doesn't support sepolia testnet.

Since goerli is going away later this year, is there any interest in supporting the sepolia anytime soon?

Code Example

(TO ADD SOON)

There is a plan to release patch release of v5 with a few minor changes, including adding sepolia to all the supporting providers.

It is not as high priority as v6 updates and features though. We are also here to assist anyone that wishes to migrate too, reach out to us on discord. :)

Thank you @ricmoo for a prompt feedback, that was fast!

It's said that many testing infra were not supported. Maybe we shall start discussion within the dApp building community to start a long term testnet

I think Sepolia is meant to be a long-term testnet. I haven’t heard orherwise, at least. :)

Looking forward to this! Any chance there's an ETA on when this will be slotted? I would have migrated to v6 if there weren't any peer dependency conflicts.

Its EOL is planned for the end of 2026 (see Predictable Ethereum Testnet Lifecycle Proposal).

v5.7.2 doesn't seems to work for me.

try { provider = new ethers.providers.AlchemyProvider(11155111,alchemy); } catch (error) { console.error("Failed to create provider:", error); return; }

gives me Failed to create provider: Error: unsupported network (argument="network", value={"name":"sepolia","chainId":11155111,"ensAddress":null}, code=INVALID_ARGUMENT, version=providers/5.7.2)

Wich version do you use ?
