Ethereum introduced “Devnet 2” before the Shanghai upgrade
Ethereum has launched a new developer network known as “devnet 2” to assist client teams in preparing for the impending Shanghai upgrade.
The devnet was created largely to test and identify flaws in software for the Shanghai upgrade. This functionality, which is now unavailable, will be enabled on the mainnet in March, allowing users to access their staked coins that were rendered temporarily inaccessible during the transition known as “The Merge” in September.
