Ethereum Shapella Upgrade Gets New Date, Making Way for Un-Staking ETH

Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko announced the Shapella (Shanghai/Capella) upgrade is scheduled for Feb. 28. The Shapella network upgrade will activate on the Sepolia network at epoch 56832.

Shanghai and Capella are the names of the upcoming Ethereum hard fork. Shanghai is the name of the fork on the execution client side, and Capella is the upgrade name on the consensus layer client side.

The upcoming upgrade would enable validators to withdraw their staked Ether (ETH) from the Beacon Chain to the execution layer. Moreover, the upgrade would bring changes to the execution layer and consensus layer adding new features, making it a key upgrade following The Merge.

The Future of Ethereum: Use Cases (Part 1)

In our 4-part series named “The Value of Ether”, we have discussed in detail the framework in which we think it is most appropriate to link value accrual to ETH token holders with the underlying mechanics that operate the Ethereum blockchain. More specifically, we have laid out a case on how increased usage of the network has an impact on supply dynamics and can therefore have a knock-on effect on the value of the Ether token.

Introducing eoracle - the Ethereum Oracle

Ethereum and Bitcoin faced challenges that were overcome with a very cautious approach, resulting in an extraordinary case study for global human coordination. Adding real-world data through oracles as another layer on top of it is a very promising next step. However, so far, we have taken this step forward without the same caution that is fundamental to the journey toward a decentralized ecosystem. Perhaps we were too close to the problem, focusing only on the outcome - making data accessible - and not being mindful enough about the process allowing it.

How to purchase Ethereum GAS in advance

This topic introduces a method for purchasing gas on Ethereum. Technically it is a fully on-chain Ethereum gas futures market. The volatility of gas prices, primarily driven by network demand fluctuations, significantly obstructs user experience on Ethereum due to unpredictable costs. This solution aims to mitigate that issue.

How to hard-fork to save most users’ funds in a quantum emergency

Suppose that it is announced tomorrow that quantum computers are available, and bad actors already have access to them and are able to use them to steal users’ funds. Preventing such a scenario is the goal of quantum-resistant cryptography (eg. Winternitz signatures, STARKs), and once account abstraction is in place, any user can switch to using a quantum-resistant signature scheme on their own schedule. But what if we don’t have that much time, and a sudden quantum transition happens long before that?
