On May 7, 2025, the Pectra update was successfully deployed on the Ethereum core network, the largest update since the release of Merge.

These include increasing the maximum asset size at validator startup and giving wallets smart contract functionality.We’ve covered this update in detail in a separate piece: Pectra: что изменит следующий хардфорк Ethereum и почувствуют ли это пользователи? 10.09.2024 13 мин 4398 читать In a comment to Incrypted, 1inch co-founder Sergey Kunz described this hard fork as follows:“The Pectra upgrade has two key goals that are highly relevant to the future of DeFi UX and scalability. First, it introduces “smart account” functionality at the EVM level, allowing EOAs (normal Ethereum addresses, not contracts) to delegate execution – paving the way for native gasless transactions and simplified user flows. Second, it improves Ethereum’s scalability by optimising blob transaction types for L2s, allowing builders to do more sophisticated and complex things by hiding complexity from end users.”Ethereum (ETH) marked a rise in the run-up to the event before starting to fall. At the time of writing, it is trading at $1835:ETH/USDT exchange rate on the Binance exchange. Source: TradingView. Note that many experts believe that Pectra could have a negative impact on the network and the pricing of its coin. This is particularly Presto Research analyst Jaeheng Ha, who pointed out the rise of inflationary pressures.As for the price, business angel and cryptocurrency analyst Jack Green has previously stated that Ethereum often rises some time after major upgrades.Сообщение The Ethereum mainnet has seen the Pectra update появились сначала на INCRYPTED.
