The Shanghai Upgrade

The Shanghai upgrade is a planned hard fork slated to occur by April 12, 2023. It will implement EIP-4895, allowing validators to withdraw ETH staked on the Beacon Chain from December 2020.

The Beacon Chain is Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus layer that was launched in parallel to the original proof-of-work (PoW) execution layer of the Ethereum mainnet.

The Web3 staking pool, is designed to provide a simple and efficient way for users to stake their Ethereum assets and earn rewards. Additionally, Bybit stated that customers will not have to purchase Ethereum (ETH) to access the staking pool. They can also use Bitcoin (BTC) Tether (USDT) USD Coin (USDC).
