The countdown to the second upgrade is on! Speed improvement, major changes in staking, will ETH skyrocket or is it just 'big thunder but little rain'? 🚀🤔

Tomorrow marks the Prague upgrade of the second version! Although the market has long anticipated this, reflecting on March's drop to 1380, everyone is wondering what changes this upgrade will bring.

Highlights of the upgrade:

Speed enhancement: While it hasn't surpassed the Solana chain, the decentralization of verification nodes has improved speed.

Gas payment support for USDC/DAI: This may attract more users, but it's still uncertain how effective it will be.

Staking upgrade: Up to 2048 ETH can be staked at once, making the operation simpler and rewards higher.

Gas fees decrease: This is bad news for L2, also making ARB and OP weaker.

Summary: Vitalik's goal has always been to build decentralized finance, not short-term profits, and the price fluctuations of ETH are secondary. Everyone should remain calm and clearly see whether this upgrade will bring 'surprises' or 'false hopes'.
