This upgrade is part of Ethereum's larger roadmap, which aims to transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism.

The upgrade was initially planned for March, but as Beiko noted in his tweet, the date had to be slightly delayed. The announcement of the new date has provided clarity for developers and users alike, allowing them to prepare for the upcoming changes.One significant change that will come with the Shanghai and Capella upgrade is the implementation of staked Ethereum withdrawals.
