PECTRA, NEXT BIG
ETHEREUM UPDATE IS
SCHEDULED FOR MARCH.
Ethereum developers held a meeting this Thursday (17) to discuss the future of the project. One of the highlights is the arrival of the Pectra update, combining the names Prague and Electra, now scheduled for March this year.
Before that, in February, Pectra will be integrated into the networks
of Sepolia and Holesky tests, these being the final tests
to know that the update does not contain any critical bugs, which could affect the mainnet update date.
At the time of writing, Ethereum is priced at USS
3,400, up 2.3% in 2025. This update could
attract the attention of Wall Street and boost demand for ETH ETFs, which are still small compared to Bitcoin ETFs.
The Pectra update will introduce twenty EIPs, an acronym in English
for Improvement Proposals for Ethereum, in a
only once. Previously, the developers applied the Merge updates in 2022, Shapella updates in 2023, and Dencun updates in 2024, all successfully.
Among the highlights are EIPs 7251 and 7702. The first
will allow validators (who function as
miners) stake up to 2048 ETH, a large
increase from the current cap of 32 ETH.
The second will allow addresses to work
temporarily as smart contracts, which may
be another big change in the blockchain sector
intelligent. The complete list of EIPs, and a brief summary.
