Ethereum developers have confirmed the testing date for the Pectra upgrade, which is the network's first upgrade in 11 months and is scheduled to be released in April 2024. The Pectra upgrade will include multiple improvements, with a particular focus on the functionality of the wallet and validator. Among them, EIP-7702 will improve the user wallet experience by supporting users to use other tokens to pay transaction fees through account abstraction technology; EIP-7251 allows validators to increase the staking amount from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH to improve node operation efficiency and shorten the setup time for new nodes. The testing will begin on the Holesky testnet on February 26th and on the Sepolia testnet on March 5th. After success, it is expected to be launched on the main network in early April.
