What exactly did Ethereum’s “Merge” merge?
The “Merge” itself did not enable withdrawals of staked ETH. Staked ETH could only be withdrawn after the Shanghai upgrade (Shapella) in April 2023.
The Ethereum “Merge” took place on September 15, 2022, combining the original execution layer with the Proof-of-Stake Beacon Chain into a single chain.
The most important thing to keep in mind when managing your positions: don’t believe messages telling you to “exchange ETH for the upgrade”—network upgrades don’t require users to migrate.
