In a call on Jan. 5, Ethereum (ETH) developers reached a consensus for March 2023 as the tentative target for the Shanghai hard fork. The only significant code change in the Shanghai upgrade will focus on enabling validators to withdraw staked ETH. Developers decided on the call.
Developers had hoped to incorporate a set of Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) dubbed EVM Object Format (EOF) in the Shanghai upgrade but decided against it in the latest call. During the call, developers working on EOF testing said that including EOF would mean pushing the hard fork by at least a month.
EOF would introduce a new contract format for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), which supports decentralized applications and smart contract functionality. EOF implementation would revamp Ethereum’s transaction format to differentiate between smart contract code and data. It would also make the EVM more easily upgradeable in the future.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin was also concerned about the
