The final dress rehearsal for Ethereum’s upcoming Shanghai upgrade, more accurately known as “Shapella,” occurred Tuesday on the Goerli test network (testnet). The test simulated staked ether (ETH) withdrawals, bringing the highly anticipated upgrade closer to its final step: activating live on the mainnet blockchain sometime next month.

The upgrade was triggered at epoch 162304 at 10:26 UTC, however the epoch has not yet finalized at the time of writing, due to low validator participation rates. Under normal participation conditions, the epoch would have finalized at 10:38 UTC (6:38 p.m. ET).
