Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the Pectra upgrade will be deployed in March. The Ethereum Network continues to undergo changes, boosting its scalability amid tight competition from new networks. Meanwhile, the Ethereum gas limit is above 32 million, with the community lauding scalability. However, the ETH price has struggled despite upgrades projected to drive adoption. Buterin Expects Pectra In March In a recent post on X, Ethereum’s co-founder informed the community that Pectra will be deployed next month. The upgrade is expected to increase the blob target to 6, marking a 100% rise to spur devs. This move will double the scaling capacity of layer 2 networks impacting transaction volumes and efficiency. Buterin suggested the blob target be staker voted, citing a need to grow the template without hard forks. Pectra’s anticipation from the community stems from its impact on eight major areas. On wallets, Pectra will aid user experience with programmability like smart contracts. Furthermore, it increased stake limits from 32 to 2,048 ETH, seeking to reduce certain validator challenges. An independent Ethereum educator, Sassal, explained that Pectra is the largest network upgrade in history. Post Pectra will see rising calldata costs with roll-ups utilizing blobs. General purpose execution layer requests with communication between the network’s consensus layer. Smart contracts will interact with the staking layer, removing the need for trusted oracles. “Set EOA account code. This is probably the most anticipated EIP of the Pectra upgrade as it brings with it major changes to Ethereum user transaction flow via account abstraction. Transaction bundling, gas sponsorship, asset recovery, and more – it’s all coming with EIP-7702! Say goodbye to things like the approve>swap flow – now it can all happen in a single transaction!” What’s Next For Ethereum? Buterin has rolled tipped several network upgrades focusing on decentralization and scalability. Despite improvements to community core values paving the way for developer and user integration, the network has struggled to attain projected growth. Ethereum is the largest smart contract network, hosting various decentralized applications that lead to new users. According to several commentators, the network stands to gain from increased DeFi adoption and a spike in transactions. At press time, ETH price trades below $3K amid frequent dips sparked by low sentiments. The asset is expected to lead the next altcoin season as momentum soars in the United States. #ETH
