The following update for ethereum The protocol is called PetraAnd these days in exam phase.
As it often happens during these tests, the result was negative.
Pectra upgrade on Ethereum Testnet failed
yesterdaythe Pectra update from Ethereum It was activated on HOLESKY TESTNET.
Unfortunately, however, problem With the formation of the fork, it affected three majority clients on the network, preventing them from tracking the addresses of the deposit contract properly.
However, minority agents continued to produce valid blocks, with a highlight of the contrast in customer configurations.
The problem has already been determined, and it turned out that it is linked to EL implementation layer (EL) Ethereum customers. The truth is that the correct composition of the deposit addresses was very important to calculate the partition of Pectra requests, while customers affected by the problem forgot to add the correct address, which caused a variation in observing deposits.
So the test failed.

The proposed solution
“
Testnets are used specifically for this purpose, that is, to determine problems before it occurs on Mainnet.
Mainnet is the real ethereum blockchain, while Testnets are experimental copies where everything can happen, but at most closed without causing consequences.
In this specified case, the Pectra FORK test failed on Testnet Holesky, but after it was already found solutionIt can be re -tested on other Testnets. The tests will only be seen when everything has walked smoothly.
Corporation of network restoration corrections have already been implemented, so the failure of this test has served the intended purpose: discovering issues and enhancing ETHEREUM’s durability before these issues reach Mainnet.
Ethereum: bacteria thorn
The date that Pectra Fork will be applied to Ethereum Mainnet He has not decided yet.
In fact, before deciding to apply it to Mainnet, all tests must be passed successfully.
Only when Pectra is operated on all Testnets, developers create a final date to activate the upgrade on Mainnet.
Now, after applying the necessary corrections to the problem that occurred on the Holesky Testnet, it will be necessary to do more tests with the corrected version on the other Testnets, in order to achieve a completely positive result.
The next Testnet will be to be tested is Sepolia. The test should start on March 5, but developers may also decide to delay it because of the case that just occurred on HOLESKY.
In the past, it was already done in this way countless, and in the end everything has always walked specifically because the inevitable problems were discovered before implementation on Mainnet.

What does the Pectra update change?
“
Thorn Petra Many of the formations of the new system contract will be offered.
One of the main changes, EIP-6110It will transfer the responsibilities of the detection of deposits From the consensus layer (CL) to the implementation layer (EL).
However, the update generally combines 11 major updates in one package.
In the midst of this package EIP-7702Amendment aims to improve the user experience of the encryption portfolios.
It was proposed directly by the co -founder of Ethereum Vitalik Buterin, and the governor will allow it to have some smart contract capabilities. It is part of a broader strategy aimed at Ethereum accountsThus in making the ability to use wallets less complicated.
Petra It also includes EIP-7251An amendment that allows the fighters to increase the maximum amount of ETH that they can share, and raise it from the current 32 to up to 2048 eth.
In theory, Pectra should have been the largest update in the entire history of Ethereum, but later decided to divide the original package into two parts because it was considered very ambitious.
Ethereum updates
Updates are applied to ethereum with thorns.
This means that if some customers do not agree with the application of updates, they can also create a new chain, for example, with Ethereum Pow in September 2022, when some contract refused to move to points of sale (proof of creativity).
However, the most famous fork is one of 2016, from which the current ETAREUM network was born, starting with those that are still present today as Ethereum Classic (etc.).
Because of some technical problems, massive theft occurred. Society decided to remove it from Blockchain blocs that follow the blocks before theft, in order to restore everything to the previous position.
However, some contract rejected this decision, so the original series continued to preserve theft blocks and subsequent material, while thanks to the fork a new series was born that canceled all the transactions in the theft mass and the following article.
However, the original non -modified chain became the minority and ended up changing its name to Ethereum Classic. On the other hand, he became the branched person (and the rate), the main person and kept the name Ethereum.
