🚀 Ethereum launches the Pectra update: what you need to know ⚡

On May 7, 2025, Ethereum activated the long-awaited Pectra update, the largest since 'The Merge'. This upgrade merges the improvements from Prague (execution) and Electra (consensus), with 11 EIPs aimed at optimizing scalability, speed, and gas costs.

Among the most notable changes is the increase of the staking limit from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH, which facilitates the entry of institutions into the ecosystem. Additionally, the introduction of account abstraction allows wallets to operate as smart contracts, paving the way for more advanced DeFi applications.

The price of ETH has fallen 45.5% so far this year, but this update could be a turning point to attract new investors and developers.

Will this upgrade consolidate Ethereum as a leader in dApps, or is it just another passing hype? 💥👇
