The Shanghai Public Testnet from Ethereum will come onto the market at the end of February
The preliminary schedule for the Shanghai upgrade is set on March 2023, and the Ethereum developers scale back and plan to start their public test networks in early February.
The top -class upgrade is intended to enable the lifting of validators. This function is currently missing in the Ethereum network and the developers give it the highest priority for the first quarter of 2023. According to the planned hard fork, users can access coins that were stored in the network. It is important to note that these assets in question became briefly inaccessible in the course of the merger in September.
"Developer intends to start public test networks for the Shanghai/Capella upgrade next month, and for the time being plan a Mainset start for the upgrade at some point in March 2023."
In the meantime, the recording of an additional feature set is off the table. Instead, ETH withdrawals that are currently being tested in a developer test network are prioritized compared to code changes.
debate about EOF
In a recent call, the developers agreed to remove EOF from the Shanghai upgrade, which is probably delivered later. In addition, all additional Ethereum improvement proposals (EIPS) from Shanghai were rejected instead of the EOF-EIPs to ensure that the schedule for the lifting of the stacked ETH was not delayed.
eof, which stands for EVM object format, essentially introduces various changes to the Ethereum code execution environment. However, the developers who work on the EOF implementation met twice during the holidays to discuss the EIP specifications. They agreed to remove EIP 6206 due to its complexity and to make the data section mandatory in these eIPs instead of optional to improve the simplicity of the data analysis.
hot version of EIP-4844
EIP-4844 was also a controversial proposal that aims to introduce a new type of transaction type into the network. It accepts "Blobs" of data that is saved in the Beacon node for a short time and are not permanently engraved into the Ethereum blockchain.
The EIP-4844 should not only make an ecosystem-wide conversion to rollups easier, but also focuses on reducing the fees and enabling Ethereum to remain competitive without sacrificing decentralization.
The debate about the ability of Ethereum players to withdraw coins has received great attention. EIP-4844 is more important for certain developers such as Péter Szilágyi than the deadline and withdrawals. Szilágyi said:
"ATHERS THE IN THE ETHEREUM Better. While you actually have the capacity at 4844, to do better."
butterins take
But for many, including the Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, it is not an option to miss the goal. When he expressed his thoughts on the EOF-upgrade, but but but but the butterin proposed to prohibit the "code introchpection", which essentially relates to the ability to carry out code to inspect or examine other code that is also running on the EVM. It is expected to develop more complex contracts based on the characteristics of other contracts.
Therefore, no other functions are introduced instead of enabling lifting in Shanghai. The EOF could be coupled with EIP-4844 and delivered three or four months later, in summer.
