Ethereum Dev Finds Issue Ahead Of Shanghai's Shapella Upgrade

Other clients also reported the same issue. VanDerWijden said the team found that Go Ethereum (Geth) client nodes facing difficulty syncing with the Zhejiang testnet.

“The last 4 and a half stressful hours of debugging culminated in this amazing bug fix. We got reports that geth nodes wouldn’t sync the Zhejiang devnet correctly. The issue was that if a block body was empty (no tx, no withdrawals) we wouldn’t initialize it correctly.”

However, developers believe the problem can be fixed with a patch as it’s fairly easy to test. In addition, core developer Tim Beiko asserts an additional Hive test is proposed for ensuring the issue is resolved correctly.

Interestingly, Ethereum core developers think the issue likely will not impact the Sepolia upgrade scheduled on February 28 at 4 AM UTC. The client releases for the upgrade and blog on the same will be announced early next week.

Ethereum’s Shanghai upgrade will happen in March which will enable withdrawals of Ethereum staked as well as rewards on the Beacon chain. It is triggered by three testnets Zhejiang, Sepolia, and Goerli.

Shapella refers to two Ethereum upgrades, “Shanghai” and “Capella”, allowing withdrawals on the execution layer and enhancing the Beacon Chain consensus layer. Other changes also reduce gas fees on the network.

Other topics such as 4844 transaction changes, SSZ, RPC, and SELFDESTRUCT improvements were also discussed at Ethereum’s All Core Developers Conference Executive meeting on Thursday.
