  4. Ethereum developers are considering dividing the highly anticipated Pectra upgrade into two parts, with the first phase possibly launching by early 2025.

    Timeline Optimization

    “There is broad agreement that if we split, the idea is that we want to ship Pectra one quicker, or as quick as possible, early next year should be our target,” an Ethereum developer said during Ethereum’s execution layer meeting on Sept. 12. Another developer stated that February feels realistic with a split Pectra. Developer Danno Ferrin added that splitting the fork only makes sense if it is delivered in Q1.

    Ensuring Security

    EF Researcher Ansgar Dietrichs opined it would be a setback if it was split and wasn’t delivered as quickly as possible. “I think a split where we still only ship the first half in say June would be a failure,” he said during the meeting. It was suggested that splitting the upgrade into two may be a safer option because smaller forks usually carry less risk.

    Industry Optimism

    Galaxy crypto researcher Christine Kim believes the chances of the split are high due to the complexity of the current Pectra fork and the desire to add still more to the upgrade. “The scope of the Pectra upgrade could change drastically if devs decide to split it across two hard forks,” she added. The developers will decide on this at the next Ethereum All Core Developers (ACD) call on Sept. 19, 2025.

    The Pectra upgrade promises to be the most significant in Ethereum’s history, and the decision to split it could accelerate its implementation and enhance network security.
