Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade is one of the most ambitious planned for the network and will be implemented in two major phases¹⁶. Here are some of the most significant changes:
1. **Execution and Consensus Layer Improvements**: The upgrade combines improvements from the Prague and Electra upgrades, focusing on optimizing both the network execution and consensus layer²⁵.
2. **EIP-3074**: This standard will allow users to pay transaction fees using funds from another account, simplifying the user experience³⁴.
3. **EIP-7251**: This improvement proposal aims to increase the security and efficiency of the network²⁵.
4. **Phasing**: The first phase, scheduled for early 2025, will bring fundamental changes, while the second phase will include more complex upgrades¹⁶.
These changes aim to make the Ethereum network more efficient, secure, and user-friendly.
