Key Takeaways:

Pectra is the next major upgrade of Ethereum, involving changes to the execution layer (Prague) and the consensus layer (Electra). It is expected to be launched on the testnet in February-March, and the mainnet is scheduled to be activated in April.

This upgrade brings optimization of the staking mechanism, enhanced Layer-2 scalability, and improved user experience (UX), laying the foundation for future upgrades.

Major changes include increasing the validator staking limit, more flexible staking withdrawals, enhanced account abstraction, and higher blob throughput, which will help improve network efficiency and security.
