Ethereum Pectra upgrade will introduce a function to increase the effective balance of validators

Odaily Odaily News Ethereum core developer timbeiko.eth posted on the X platform that for stakers, Pectra will introduce a function to increase the effective balance of validators. This means that small operators can directly stake and increase value, while large operators can integrate validators to reduce the bandwidth usage of the p2p network. This function also eliminates the PoW follow-up distance before the merger, shortens the delay in processing validator deposits, and introduces withdrawals that can be triggered by the execution layer, thereby achieving a more trustless equity structure.
