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:

š1. 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.
š2. 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.
š¦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.
š¤4. Automation of staking withdrawals via #SmartContracts . (EIP-7002)
This provides more flexibility for staking pools and strengthens user security by automating processes.
š5. 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.
š#Pectra marks a new era for #Ethereum : faster, cheaper, smarter.
Still leading the L1 rankings!
