Ethereum Developers Target April 12 for Shanghai Hard Fork

Ethereum developers have set April 12 as the target date for the Shanghai hard fork, which will enable staked ETH withdrawals. Tests have been conducted to ensure that staked ETH withdrawals will function properly, though the last testnet hard fork experienced low participation rates. Despite this, Ethereum developers are confident that the mainnet upgrade will go smoothly.
