On February 7, a hard fork will take place in Zhejiang, which will activate EIP-4895. At the moment, users will only be able to deposit ETH.
Previously, developers launched devnet to test the function of withdrawing cryptocurrency from a deposit contract by validators.
On January 24, the Ethereum team successfully implemented the shadow fork of Shanghai to test the impact of the planned upgrade on the mainnet.
Recall that the developers called March 2023 the approximate date for the Shanghai hard fork in the mainnet.
