In a surprising turn of events, Ethereum (ETH) gained 6% after the devs' decision to split the Pectra upgrade. The upcoming upgrade will come in two phases.
In the latest Consensus Layer Call, the developers of Ethereum announced their decision to split the Pectra into two parts. This is because there are concerns about the risks associated with EIPs.
The Pectra upgrade will be one of the biggest upgrades to the Ethereum. With a bigger scale, the upgrade could also bring a host of problems. That's why the developers have split it into two phases to make it more manageable.
In the first phase of ETH's new upgrade, 8 EIPs will be introduced. It will also include a key change to improve the user experience in ETH wallets.
In the 2nd phase of the upgrade, EIP-7594 will be introduced, which will improve the blob capacity. This will enhance the appeal of the ETH and will help it attract a larger user base.
According to the developers of Ethereum (ETH), phase 1 will be introduced in the early 2024. As for the 2nd phase, it will be announced at a later date.
The key features of the Pectra will be coming in the 1st phase. This will allow much-needed time for the developers to implement the 2nd phase properly.
