The Pectra hard for the second network is activated on the second capitalization of cryptocurrency on May 7 – key developers on the next call made such a decision.
Earlier, the update was planned for about 30 April.
Pectra includes a series of improvements aimed at increasing the convenience and efficiency of Ethereum. A large -scale upgrade contains 11 key EIPs, which are implemented at the same time. One of the important innovations is the addition of the functionality of smart contracts to the wallets, which simplifies their use and restoration.
The implementation of the hardforte in the tweeters of Sepolia (the level of consensus) and Holesky (level of execution) led to failures. In the first case, additional difficulties caused the intervention of the attacker.
In Holesky, even after restoring the network’s performance, it was impossible to check the functionality of the upgrade in terms of the release of the validators.
The developers decided to create a new long -term twist to complete the check of the hardforn. The test network called Hoodi was launched on March 17, in the same month, the Pectra updated was deployed in it. Recall that in February, Ethereum developers discussed the acceleration of network upgrades. The previous Dencun hard fork took place in April 2024.
