Staked ETH Withdrawals: Expectations & Associated Risks

Ethereum’s next upgrade, Shanghai, will primarily activate staked ETH withdrawals on the network. Developers have been working on this code change for over a year and to expedite its implementation, they have also deprioritized other pressing upgrades such as proto-danksharding and EOF implementation. This panel will discuss what tradeoffs were made during the design of staked ETH withdrawals and what associated risks users, developers, and most importantly, stakers, should expect during and after Shanghai.
