Odaily Planet Daily News Ethereum developers have introduced a temporary test network called Mekong for the Pectra upgrade. The test network is designed to try out specific code changes before deploying them to other public test networks and eventually to the main network. According to a blog post by Ethereum core developers, the test network is designed to explore the impact of these changes. The post noted that although the test network will run for a short time, it is considered to be Pectra's fully functional, containing all proposed EIPs. The developer noted: "We may see some minor specification changes or smaller EIPs, but the features included here will enter the existing public test network and eventually enter the Ethereum main network." Initially, the Pectra upgrade was planned to include 20 Ethereum improvement proposals, but this number has been reduced to about 8. These modifications focus on improving user experience and network efficiency when Pectra is launched on the main network. The main changes being tested include improving the user experience of crypto wallets and account abstraction, increasing the maximum staking limit of validators from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, updating deposit and withdrawal mechanisms, etc.
