#EthereumFuture Key Features of the Pectra Upgrade:
1. Account Abstraction (EIP-3074 & EIP-7702):
Account abstraction will allow smart contracts to directly interact with externally owned accounts (EOAs), enabling features like transaction batching, gas fee sponsorship, and enhanced security. This change will make Ethereum more flexible and user-friendly for both casual and experienced users.
2. Validator Stake Limit Increase (EIP-7251):
The upgrade raises the maximum stake a validator can hold from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH. This change simplifies staking for large validators, increases rewards, and strengthens Ethereum’s security without affecting the 32 ETH minimum required for staking.
3. Blob Scaling (EIP-7691):
Blob Scaling will double the number of blobs processed per block, improving Ethereum’s scalability. This will reduce transaction fees and enhance throughput, benefiting Ethereum's layer-2 solutions and dApps.
4. Dynamic Blob Count Adjustments (EIP-7742):
With dynamic adjustments to blob counts, Ethereum can better manage network demands and optimize data availability, providing more flexibility and ensuring smoother operation.
5. Verkle Trees (EIP-2935):
Verkle Trees improve data storage and retrieval, helping Ethereum achieve stateless execution. This upgrade reduces the strain on the network
