Faster, cheaper Ethereum: The effects of the Pectra upgrade
Blockchain
A new wind blows over Ethereum. Since Pectra, this iconic blockchain is gradually shedding its weaknesses. Transaction fees in free fall, improved scalability, increasing prominence of blobs… the crypto shifts gears. But as often happens in the Ethereum universe, each leap forward brings new questions in its wake. And some challenges shift rather than disappear.
In summary
☑️Ethereum has doubled its blob data capacity, drastically reducing transaction fees
☑️Rollups are becoming profitable, but still do not fully exploit the storage potential offered
☑️Blobs saturate the nodes, forcing some validators to leave the network or group together.
☑️Ethereum imposes block limits to protect the network from a bandwidth explosion
