While the beacon chain at present permits ETH staking, it does not allow users\/developers to withdraw staked ETH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the developers also agreed to review the EIP-4844 or Ethereum Virtual Machine Format code changes to include them in the upcoming Shanghai update rollout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The team said they were also interested in exploring EIP-1153, which introduces transient storage opcodes, and, EIP-4758, which deactivates the SELFDESTRUCT opcode and converts it to a SENDALL opcode.

EIP-4844 is a proposal that &#8220;introduces a new transaction type to Ethereum for settling batches of transactions from Layer-2 rollups in a cost-effective method,&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later on, the developers further discussed upgrades related to the EOF, or Ethereum virtual machine format, which is &#8220;the execution environment that deploys smart contracts on Ethereum.&#8221; Shanghai could introduce a new EVM format that effectively distinguishes code from data in a way that saves gas for contract deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How Will Shanghai&#8217;s Upgrade Affect Ethereum&#8217;s Price?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the testnet <a href=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/112187\/ethereum-launches-testnet-to-begin-work-on-shanghai-upgrade\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/decrypt.co\/112187\/ethereum-launches-testnet-to-begin-work-on-shanghai-upgrade\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">version<\/a> of Shanghai, dubbed Shandong, is already live on Ethereum, users are anticipating new and exciting changes that the blockchain could soon offer in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of Ethereum&#8217;s future price, the Shanghai upgrade deployment will significantly help in speeding up transactions on Ethereum. Apart from speed, the upgrade will also simplify the process of processing ETH transactions over layer-two networks such as Arbitrum and Optimism, helping the token gain more mainstream adoption and momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Ethereum&#8217;s founder, Vitalik Buterin, Layer 2 networks on Ethereum are an integral part of the blockchain and also play a significant role in keeping the network affordable and cost-effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Needs to get under $0.05 to be truly acceptable imo.
