  2. Splitting the Upgrade Reduces Risk
  3. The Industry Views Pectra Upgrade Optimistically


    4. Ethereum developers are considering splitting the Pectra upgrade into two phases, which is expected to enhance the network’s efficiency and scalability. The first phase is anticipated to launch in early 2025.

    Developers Aim for Early Delivery

    During the Ethereum execution layer meeting on September 12, a developer indicated that if the upgrade is split, the goal is to release the first part as soon as possible, ideally in early next year.

    If we split, we want to release the first part of Pectra as soon as possible, ideally early next year.

    Splitting the Upgrade Reduces Risk

    It has been suggested that dividing the upgrade may present a safer option, as smaller forks typically carry less risk. The Pectra upgrade combines two separate upgrades: Prague and Electra. While the Prague upgrade focuses on modifications in the execution layer, the Electra upgrade impacts the consensus layer.

    Developer Danno Ferrin added, 'It only makes sense to consider a split if delivery is thought to be in the first quarter.'Danno Ferrin

    The Industry Views Pectra Upgrade Optimistically

    Galaxy crypto researcher Christine Kim believes that due to the complexity of the current Pectra fork and the desire to add more to the upgrade, a split is likely. Developers will make the final decision on this matter during the next Ethereum All Core Developers (ACD) call on September 19.

    The division of the Pectra upgrade presents both opportunities and challenges for the Ethereum community. While a quicker and less risky update can contribute to the network’s short-term growth, the expansion of scope and increased complexity may affect long-term goals. The decisions made by developers will be critical in determining the future scalability and functionality level of Ethereum.
