Ethereum developers are contemplating dividing the upcoming Pectra upgrade into two distinct phases, aiming to enhance the network’s efficiency and scalability. The first phase is tentatively scheduled for early 2025.<\/p>\n

Developers Eyeing an Accelerated Rollout<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a meeting on September 12 regarding Ethereum’s execution layer, a developer mentioned that if the upgrade is split, the goal would be to release the first part as soon as possible, ideally at the beginning of the next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we do decide to split, our aim is to roll out the first phase of Pectra as swiftly as possible, ideally by early next year,\u201d stated an Ethereum<\/a> developer.<\/p>\n

Another developer suggested that a February release might be realistic for the split version.<\/p>\n

Developer Danno Ferrin added, \u201cIt makes sense to consider splitting the fork only if the delivery is planned for the first quarter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Splitting the Upgrade May Reduce Risks<\/strong><\/p>\n

It has been proposed that dividing the upgrade could be a safer approach since smaller forks generally carry less risk.<\/p>\n

The Pectra upgrade combines two separate improvements: Prague and Electra. The Prague upgrade focuses on changes to the network\u2019s execution layer, while Electra affects the consensus layer.<\/p>\n

Christine Kim, a crypto researcher at Galaxy, believes that \u201cGiven the complexity of the current Pectra fork and the desire to add more to the upgrade, the likelihood of splitting is high.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf developers opt to divide the upgrade into two hard forks, the scope of the Pectra upgrade could change dramatically,\u201d Kim added.<\/p>\n

Optimistic Industry Outlook on Pectra<\/strong><\/p>\n

A final decision on this matter is expected during the next Ethereum All Core Developers (ACD) call on September 19.<\/p>\n

Kim had previously noted on June 7 that the Pectra upgrade was shaping up to be the largest in Ethereum’s history.<\/p>\n

Ethereum educator Sassal echoed a similar sentiment, stating to his 254,500 followers, \u201cPectra is set to be Ethereum\u2019s next major network upgrade, potentially the largest in Ethereum\u2019s history.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April 2024, Cointelegraph reported that Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 3074 was approved for inclusion in the next update. This proposal enables regular crypto wallets to function like smart contracts.<\/p>\n

One of the functionalities of EIP-3074 is to provide smart contract capabilities to standard external accounts (EOAs) \u2014 ordinary wallets like MetaMask. This facilitates features such as transaction batching, which requires only a single signature, and sponsored transactions where one wallet can allocate funds to be used by another.<\/p>\n

The potential splitting of the Pectra upgrade presents both opportunities and challenges for the Ethereum community. While a faster and less risky update could advance the network in the short term, the expansion of scope and increased complexity might impact long-term goals. The decisions made by developers will be crucial in determining Ethereum’s future scalability and functionality.<\/p>\n
