Ethereum has just successfully completed the Pectra hard fork, a major update that redefines the user and developer experience on the network.

A summary of the major changes:

(FYI:

EIP = Ethereum Improvement Proposal)

šŸ”„1. Account Abstraction (EIP-7702)

Wallets are (finally) getting smarter.

You will be able to:

- Pay fees in tokens other than $ETH

- Batch your transactions

- Add permissions, limits, etc.

Ethereum is becoming more UX-friendly than ever.

šŸ”2. Redesigned Staking (EIP-7251)

Validators can now stake up to 2048 $ETH (vs. 32 previously).

Fewer validators, less load on the network, and more efficiency.

šŸ“¦3. Enhanced Scalability (EIP-7691)

Increased blobs per block to improve Ethereum's scalability.

More data processed =

- Lower transaction fees

- Better performance for Layer 2

- Improved experience for #DeFi , #NFTs , and gaming.

šŸ¤–4. Automation of staking withdrawals via #SmartContracts . (EIP-7002)

This provides more flexibility for staking pools and strengthens user security by automating processes.

šŸ”’5. Decentralization and Security (EIP-6110)

Validator deposits are now processed on-chain via the consensus layer. This reduces security risks and facilitates the onboarding of new validators.

šŸš€#Pectra marks a new era for #Ethereum : faster, cheaper, smarter.

Still leading the L1 rankings!
