Near Protocol roadmap has two major upgrades for future which are Core and Experience. The Experience bounds the user and developer experience and key features needed to enable those experiences to the fullest. On the other hand, the core section covers major efforts to improve the scalability and decentralization of the network.

With a potential surge in the market, NEAR could reach a maximum of $29.43 by 2023 and cross the $100 mark by 2029 (according to the Coinpedia Near Protocol Price Prediction for 2023).

The Ethereum Foundation released a pre-Shanghai testnet on 14 October, this year. The testnet is referred to as Shandong so one can be used to test and finalize the Ethereum Improvement. That are expected to be rolled out in the actual Shanghai Update during the release in 2023.

If ETH reveals regular upward thrust in investors and buyers, we can expect 2023 to initiate on a bullish trend. Which should put pressure in extra alliances, adoptions, and investors. Wherefore, the Ethereum price prediction for 2023 is predicted bullish by Coinpedia for $1866.79 considering effect of Shanghai update.
