Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade Goes Live on ‘Holesky’ Testnet, But Fails to Finalize
Powered by @unfolded- Ethereum's Pectra upgrade launched on the Holesky testnet but failed to finalize as expected, leading to discussions among developers about the underlying issues.
- Finality in blockchain refers to the irreversible confirmation of transactions, and testnets like Holesky are used to trial upgrades before they reach the main network.
- The Pectra upgrade includes EIP-7251, which aims to increase the maximum stake for validators from 32 to 2,048 ETH, simplifying the staking process.
- The next test of the Pectra upgrade is scheduled for the Sepolia testnet on March 5, but it may be delayed based on the current issues encountered.
