Dencun upgrade with EIP4844 is likely later this year, which will bring lower cost Layer 2 transactions. Follow the readiness of EIP4844: https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/Breakout-Room/4844-readiness-checklist.md Prague + E starname upgrade is probably 2024, possibly focused on EOF, then followed by a Verkle tree focused upgrade, but none of this has been decided.

There's an EIP 4844 readiness checklist.

The live date for the Shanghai upgrade is likely to be April 12, occurring at epoch number 620,9536. This was announced during the All Core Developers Execution Layer #157 call on 16 March 2023.

On December 8, 2022, the Ethereum core team held an All Core Developers (ACD) meeting. The Ethereum team agreed to target March 2023 as the release date for Shanghai’s mainnet launch. However, this is a tentative date based on the assumption that the Zhejiang, Sepolia, and Goerli testnets are successful.

I am looking for a way to automatically create deposit data. So far I tried https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli but although it offers a --non_interactive flag it still asks for an encryption password for the keystore files. Are there any other open source tools? I really don't want to fork and maintain my own version of the deposit cli.

First, you need to generate new keys using the staking deposit CLI software. It is recommended to do this on an offline computer. You can generate a new mnemonic phrase, but it seems simpler to reuse the same one as your other validators.

I am trying to setup a local devnet in my computer by using geth and prysm using https://docs.prylabs.network/docs/advanced/proof-of-stake-devnet. I can able to setup network with three execution nodes and three consensus nodes. Now I want to add new validators to the network. I tried with https://github.com/protolambda/eth2-val-tools and https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli. I do get keystore-###.json and deposit_data-###.json files.

I’ve been trying to fix the initial language selection screen, and it displays right for me but not for a staking-deposit-cli dev. See https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli/pull/325

Deposit cli will support it. See https://github.com/ethereum/staking-deposit-cli/issues/312
