- Ethereum’s Shapella upgrade, which enables the unstaking of ETH, has been activated on the Goerli network.
- Testnet validators lacked incentive to upgrade their client software, resulting in the process of depositing not running smoothly during the hard fork.
- The mainnet upgrade is expected to be launched next month, with several improvements
According to Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko, the network’s latest upgrade, Shapella, has successfully been activated on the Goerli testnet. The upgrade, which allows for the unstaking of ETH, comprises five different Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Epoch 162,304 initiated the upgrade at 10:26 UTC, and it was finalized soon after.
