以太坊开发人员已经确认了期待已久的Pectra升级的关键测试日期，这将使区块链更接近近一年来的首次重大更新。
如果计划中的Holesky和Sepolia测试网测试如期进行，开发人员预计升级将于四月初在主网上线。
在最近一次所有核心开发者电话会议上，以太坊的核心构建者计划于2月26日在Holesky测试网进行Pectra的首次测试，随后于3月5日在Sepolia测试网进行第二次测试。
如果测试顺利进行，开发人员将于3月6日再次召开会议，最终确定主网激活日期。以太坊基金会协议支持负责人Tim Beiko表示，4月初是最有可能的目标。
Pectra是Prague和Electra升级的混合体，引入了八项以太坊改进提案（EIP），旨在增强钱包功能和验证器效率。
EIP-7702是最令人期待的变化之一，旨在简化用户体验，允许外部拥有的账户（包括大多数Crypto钱包）更像智能合约一样运行。
这项改进是更广泛地推动账户抽象化的一部分，这是一种区块链趋势，旨在通过让用户使用ETH以外的资产支付交易费用，使钱包变得更加灵活。
EIP-7251是另一项重要更新，它将验证者的注资限额从32 ETH提高到2048 ETH。
这一变化有望缓解网络拥堵，让大型验证者可以整合业务，减少目前建立新节点所需的长队。
Pectra升级正值以太坊在与BTC和竞争智能合约网络的较量中表现不佳、备受关注之际。
近几个月来，Solana等竞争对手势头强劲，吸引了以太坊生态系统的注意力和人才。
与此同时，以太坊基金会也正在经历领导层的重大转型，这进一步增加了项目长期方向的不确定性。
最近几个月，该基金会还因出售ETH而受到批评，尤其是在市场低迷的时候。
通过Pectra，开发者希望重申以太坊作为领先智能合约区块链的主导地位。
如果一切按计划进行，升级将加强以太坊的技术优势，提高用户采用率，解决网络的一些最大痛点。
