Odaily reports that the Pectra upgrade of Ethereum was successfully activated on the Sepolia testnet on March 5, 2025, marking the final stage before the mainnet launch. The upgrade aims to improve the scalability, security, and usability of Ethereum, with key improvements including: to enhance user experience and account management flexibility; to increase the validator staking limit from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, enhancing network security; and to improve Rollup scalability by increasing the maximum blob count. The upgrade will further support the Dencun hard fork implemented on Ethereum in March 2024, and the mainnet activation date is expected to be determined at the All Core Developers meeting on March 6, 2025. The mainnet launch is planned for early April 2025. (TheBlock)
