Pectra, Ethereum's latest big upgrade, went live on May 7, 2025! ๐ It's a combo of two major improvements: the Prague execution layer and the Electra consensus layer. Together, they bring 11 new features (EIPs) to make the network faster, staking better, and your experience smoother. ๐
Here's what's new:
* Bigger Validator Stakes: You can now stake up to 2,048 ETH instead of 32 ETH, making staking more flexible! ๐ช
* Smarter Wallets: Wallets now act more like smart contracts, making them easier to use and more powerful. ๐ฑ
* Faster & Cheaper: The goal is to slash transaction costs and speed up the whole network! ๐ฐโก
After Pectra, Ethereum's price jumped over 50% in May 2025, showing everyone's excited about its future! ๐
