The testnet that Ethereum will publish for withdrawals will go live today.
Users will be able to try various deposits and withdrawals within six days of Ethereum’s testnet release.
Ethereum Activates Testnet for Deposits and Withdrawals
Ethereum staking testnet Zhejiang will start welcoming users as of 6pm today and will give users their first idea of how the withdrawal process and functionality will be after the Shanghai upgrade.
The testnet, which will go live on Wednesday at 6 PM UK time, will not be able to offer users the opportunity to immediately try any of the withdrawal features that will be implemented in the Shanghai and Capella testnet upgrades, which are scheduled to arrive six days later. Users will be able to try depositing money with validators and get an idea of how the UI works. In other words, the testnet will be available to users only for preview purposes for now.
The Zhejiang public testnet is going live tomorrow (1st of Feb 15:00 UTC, 2023). Shanghai+Capella will be triggered 6 days later (at epoch 1350). You will be able to deposit validators, practice BLS change and exit without risk. All links are here: https://t.co/XNlsDIG0cm pic.twitter.com/sKKDJmolt2
