- Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade testing begins on Feb. 26 on the Holesky testnet.
- A second test is planned for March 5 on the Sepolia testnet.
- If tests succeed, a mainnet activation date will be set on March 6.
- Pectra includes eight Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs).
- EIP-7702 aims to simplify user experience by enhancing wallet functionality.
- EIP-7251 proposes increasing the validator staking limit from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH.
The Pectra upgrade, featuring significant proposals like EIP-7702 and EIP-7251, is set for early April if initial tests on Holesky and Sepolia testnets proceed successfully.
