Ethereum Developers Plan to Launch Public Testnets for Shanghai Upgrade in February, Mainnet in March

On the 152nd Ethereum All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) call, developers plan to launch public testnets for the Shanghai/Capella upgrade next month and tentatively schedule a mainnet launch for the upgrade sometime in March 2023.

In addition, developers agreed to remove code changes related to EOF implementation from the Shanghai upgrade. For more information about EOF. They also agreed to reject any additional Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) from Shanghai in place of the EOF EIPs. This was primarily to ensure that the timeline for staked ETH withdrawals does not get delayed.
