Only about 2 months left until Ethereum will deploy the Shanghai upgrade with the most notable feature being support for withdrawing ETH from Beacon Chain. On the evening of January 23, the network took new steps, closer to the goal of implementing this upgrade in March of this year.
On his personal Twitter, Ethereum developer Marius Van Der Wijden posted the latest updates on the Shanghai upgrade.
Withdrawal-Mainnet-Shadow-Fork-1 is finalizing
It started out with a few issues because the config wasn’t correctly applied on geth (we disallow overriding the mainnet config). The config is applied correctly and all nodes are in agreement. We will start some evil nodes,.

“First Mainnet Shadow Fork for ETH (Withdrawal) withdrawal is completed. The testing process caused some problems because the configuration with Geth was not correct. However, later this configuration stage was fixed and the nodes agreed to the latest version. We will be implementing a few “fake” nodes on both Consensus and Execution layers. These nodes will try to spam and send false information. The network is fine for now and let’s see if these test “fake” nodes can attack the network.”
Shadow Fork is a copy of the blockchain network set up by the developer community to test upgrades. According to Ethereum Foundation engineer Parithosh Jayathi, the shadow fork for this Shanghai upgrade took place at 17:40 on January 23.
Previously, Ethereum also deployed Testnet versions to test this very important upgrade.

The permission to withdraw ETH from Beacon Chain after the Shanghai upgrade is bringing many positive moves to products related to the Ethereum ecosystem, especially the Liquid Staking array. Most of the projects in this segment have seen strong growth in the past 1 week with many positive information related to listing support.
