The Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade is inching closer to reality as developers announce that the hard fork is undergoing rigorous testing on the Goerli public testnet.

This upgrade marks the next phase in Ethereum’s evolution, following its successful transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism after The Merge.

With new features and improvements, the Ethereum Shanghai Upgrade promises to further solidify its position as a leading blockchain platform.

The final dress rehearsal for Ethereum’s upcoming significant upgrade, “Shapella,” has been conducted on the Goerli testnet.

There were, however, concerns with the hard fork. While deposits were being processed, Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko highlighted that the process did not go as well as it could have because numerous testnet validators did not upgrade their client software prior to the Goerli fork.
