The 151st Ethereum Core Developers Meeting took place on December 8, and discussions there revealed that core programmers have set a possible timeframe of March 2023 for Ethereum's Shanghai hard fork. Additionally, programmers plan to roll out the Ethereum Improvement Protocol (EIP) 4844 update, which would bring proto-danksharding to the network, in May or June 2023. After the upgrade goes live, users will be able to withdraw their staked Ether and any related prizes.
