Ethereum developers have asked node operators, validators, and stakers to update their Ethereum clients as the Ethereum Shanghai upgrade comes closer. With the Sepolia Shapella upgrade scheduled for February 28 at 4 AM UTC, withdrawals of staked Ethereum on the Beacon chain will start soon.

Ethereum developer Tim Beiko and other developers on February 27 reminded node operators and stakers to update their Ethereum clients before the Sepolia Shapella upgrade on February 28. Only after updating with the required Ethereum clients, validators can withdraw their stake from the Beacon Chain back to the execution layer.

The consensus layer Ethereum clients such as Lighthouse, Lodestar, Nimbus, Prysm, and Teku have already announced Sepolia releases. The execution layer Ethereum clients such as Besu. Erigon, go-ethereum (get), and Nethermind have also announced their Sepolia releases.

Moreover, Tim Beiko said the Goerli testnet will be shut down after the Shanghai upgrade in March. Future testnets, including Sepolia, can mint more ETH.
