- Hoodi aims to facilitate the final deployment of the Pectra upgrade.
- Previous attempts on Holesky and Sepolia testnets faced configuration issues.
- Pectra is designed to enhance scalability and usability by reducing data availability costs.
- Mainnet activation of Pectra could occur as early as April 25, following Hoodi’s rollout.
