Ethereum developers announced that the Shapella upgrade will be activated on the Sepolia testnet on February 28

ChainCatcher news reports that according to the latest official announcement, the core developers of the Ethereum blockchain plan to conduct the Shanghai+Capella upgrade on the Sepolia test network on February 28 at epoch 56832. Shanghai+Capella, also known as Shapella, aims to enable ETH withdrawals from network validators, a feature that was not enabled during the network's transition to PoS consensus ("the Merge").

This upgrade combines changes to both the execution layer (Shanghai) and the consensus layer (Capella). In order to complete the final upgrade in March, developers plan to conduct multiple phases of public testing. The upcoming release on Sepolia is the second public testnet for the deployment upgrade.

Earlier this month, Shapella was tested on the Zhejiang testnet. After deploying Shapella to the Sepolia testnet, developers expect to transition to the Goerli testnet for the final phase of testing before the mainnet release in early March.

Previously, ChainCatcher reported that the Ethereum Foundation stated in a recently published article that the Shanghai+Capella (Shapella) mainnet upgrade is entering its final pre-release sequence—public testnet. Shapella includes many features, but the most important for stakers and the consensus layer is the support for withdrawals. Exiting validators can withdraw their full balance, while active validators with a balance exceeding 32 ETH can make partial withdrawals. Additionally, the first long-standing public testnet, Sepolia, is scheduled for an upgrade on February 28. (source link)
