The Ethereum Foundation released a blog stating that the Shapella network upgrade will be activated on the Sepolia testnet at block height 56832, scheduled for 4:04:48 AM UTC on Feb. 28, 2023. This upgrade follows The Merge and enables validators to withdraw their stake from the Beacon Chain back to the execution layer. It also introduces new functionality to both the execution and consensus layer. The Shapella upgrade combines changes to the execution layer (Shanghai), consensus layer (Capella) and the Engine API, and the Zhejiang testnet can be used to test Shapella functionality before the Sepolia upgrade.
