According to the news from Mars Finance, Ethereum developers stated in the 204th core developer execution layer meeting (ACDE) that due to a new consensus bug in Pectra Devnet 5 affecting the Nethermind client, developers decided to postpone the specific upgrade time of the public testnet. The Nethermind team said that the bug caused by BLS precompile optimization has been fixed and will not affect the launch of Devnet 6. Developers plan to discuss the testnet upgrade time again at the next ACD meeting. In addition, the meeting also discussed a security vulnerability affecting the Geth client, which may impact the Ethereum peer-to-peer layer and Layer-2 scaling solutions. Nodes running Geth 1.14 or above need to update to the latest version immediately. The Pectra upgrade schedule is as follows: Week of February 3: Launch Devnet 6; February 6 (Thursday): Next ACD meeting, decide the upgrade time of Holesky and Sepolia testnets; February 10-11 (Monday or Tuesday): Release official announcement of testnet upgrades; Around February 19: Holesky testnet upgrade; February 20: Developers' meeting to decide the Ethereum mainnet upgrade time; Around February 26: Sepolia testnet upgrade (planned about a week after Holesky upgrade); February 27-28: Release the final version of the mainnet upgrade; Mid-March: Ethereum mainnet upgrade.
