The Ethereum Pectra upgrade merges two upgrades—Prague and Electra—and includes 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). This comprehensive update focuses on enhancing scalability, reducing fees, and implementing smart accounts. Its initial phase, launching in March 2025, will double layer-2 scaling capabilities and enable stablecoin gas payments. The final rollout, scheduled for late 2025 or early 2026, will bring innovative features such as Verkle trees and peer-to-peer data availability sampling. Pectra represents a major leap forward in Ethereum's scalability, efficiency, and user experience.
