For now, the network is running smoothly, but Van Der Wijden has stated that he wants to \u201csee if Potuz and I can break it.\u201d This is apparently being done to see if the upgrade can prevent malicious attacks or if further changes need to be made before it is implemented on mainnet.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Related: <\/strong><strong>Metamask provides liquid staking solutions from Lido and Rocket Pool<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The launch of this testnet comes after devs have expressed an increasing urgency to make Ether staking withdrawals a reality. On Jan. 6, they held a meeting during which they <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.galaxy.com\/research\/insights\/ethereum-all-core-developers-execution-call-152\/\">agreed<\/a> to exclude the proposed EVM Object Format (EOF) from the Shanghai upgrade. EOF was intended to make Ethereum easier to upgrade in the future. But because of its complexity, the devs decided to leave it out of Shanghai for fear that it would delay withdrawal implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Over 14.5 million ETH (over $23 billion worth at the time this is being written) has been <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nansen.ai\/research\/an-on-chain-look-at-ethereums-liquid-staking-landscape\">deposited<\/a> into the Ethereum staking contract and cannot currently be withdrawn, according to a December report by Nansen. In November,\u00a0 Ethereum devs came under harsh criticism for allegedly moving the goalpost in regards to enabling withdrawals.<\/p>\n<p>The Shanghai upgrade is currently scheduled to be implemented sometime in March.<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
