ethereum developers have confirmed the key test dates for the long -awaited sirty update, bringing the block chain to their first important update in almost a year.
If the planned tests in Holesky and sepolia testnets are carried out as expected, the developers anticipate that the update will be carried out live in the principal in early April.
During their last call from all the main developers, ethereum's main builders scheduled the first sirty test for February 26 at the Testet Holesky, followed by a second test in the sepolia Testnet on March 5.
If these tests are executed without problems, developers will meet on March 6 to finish an Mainnet activation date. Tim Beiko, protocol support leader at the ethereum Foundation, indicated that at the beginning of April it is the most likely objective.
Anticipated changes
Pin, a hybrid of the updates of Prague and Electra, presents eight proposals for improvement of ethereum (EIP) aimed at improving the functionality of the wallet and the efficiency of the validator.
One of the most anticipated changes, EIP-7702, is designed to simplify the user experience by allowing externally property accounts, which include most cryptographic wallets, to function more as intelligent contracts.
The improvement is part of a broader thrust towards the abstraction of the account, a blockchain trend that seeks to make the wallets more flexible by allowing users to pay transaction rates with different assets of eth.
Another significant update, EIP-7251, increases the validator betting limit of 32 eth to 2,048 eth. This change is expected to relieve the congestion of the network by allowing large validators to consolidate operations and reduce the long lines that are currently required to configure new nodes.
Challenging landscape
The pein update occurs at a time of high scrutiny for ethereum in the midst of its low yield against bitcoin and smart contracts in competition. The rivals like Solana have gained impulse in recent months, calling attention and talent away from the ethereum ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the ethereum Foundation is also experiencing an important leadership transition, adding more uncertainty about the long -term management of the project. The Foundation has also faced criticism in recent months for selling ethereum, especially in the midst of market recessions.
With pertra, developers hope to reaffirm ethereum's domain such as the leading intelligent intelligent contract block chain. If everything agrees with the plan, the update could reinforce the technical advantage of ethereum and improve the adoption of the user, addressing some of the largest weak points of the network.
