On March 28th, the Ethereum protocol support team posted an update on the mainnet Shapella launch date. They confirmed that the hard fork will occur on April 12, two weeks from today.

Shapella is the new name for the Shanghai upgrade as it combines changes to the execution layer (Shanghai), the consensus layer (Capella), and the Engine API.

The date announcement comes after a smooth Goerli testnet transition. Furthermore, bug bounty rewards have been doubled until April 5 for those seeking Shapella vulnerabilities.
