Ethereum developers are eyeing February for the public testnet launch of the Shanghai upgrade.
This was disclosed by Christine Kim, a research associate at financial services and investment management company Galaxy Digital.
Kim, writing in a research report for Galaxy, noted that the testnet will precede the mainnet deployment of the Shanghai upgrade scheduled for March. This is according to the decision reached by Ethereum developers during their first All Core Developers Call (ACDC) for 2023 in which she participated.
“Developers reaffirmed their commitment to try and target early February for launching public Shanghai testnets,” she wrote.
The research associate at the crypto and blockchain-focused firm added that the upgrade will solely prioritize enabling the withdrawal of staked ETH. Base
