The year 2025 begins with great expectations for change in how users interact with blockchain applications. A major update named Pectra for $ETH , expected to launch in February, could be the 'key' to opening the door to widespread user acceptance.



Mass Adoption: The Dream is Closer than Ever



For a long time, the cryptocurrency industry has yearned for widespread acceptance like Web2 platforms. However, the complex user experience with on-chain applications, from high transaction fees to the requirement for specialized wallets, has become a major barrier.



David Silverman, Vice President of the #Polygon project, stated that the 2021 market phase showed the interest of millions of users in cryptocurrency, but the technology at that time was not ready. By 2025, the Pectra update is expected to address all these weaknesses, providing a much more user-friendly experience.



Pectra: The Breakthrough Technology of Ethereum



1. Removing Gas Fees Barriers and Specialized Wallets


• Pectra will allow users to pay transaction fees (gas fees) in any cryptocurrency, including stablecoins.


• Integration with popular tools like FaceID and TouchID simplifies the process of confirming transactions.



2. Session Keys and Smooth Interaction



One of the key improvements is session keys, which allow users to perform multiple complex interactions on the blockchain application with just one confirmation. This not only enhances security but also improves the experience.



For example: Platforms like Instagram could be entirely placed on #blockchain without users noticing any difference compared to the Web2 version.



Promise of the Future of Web3



Mark Tyneway, co-founder of the Layer-2 Optimism network, believes that the Pectra update will usher in a significant wave of innovation, enabling #Web3 applications to compete on par with Web2 products in terms of user experience.



David Silverman added that: 'This is a significant step to elevate crypto UX to a new level.' Applications with interfaces and experiences similar to Web2 platforms will attract mainstream users while still retaining the unique advantages of Web3 such as ownership and security.



Conclusion: 2025 - The Year of Ethereum?



With the Pectra update, Ethereum could break down the final barriers preventing mainstream users from entering the blockchain world. If on-chain applications become as simple, accessible, and smooth as predicted, 2025 could mark a significant turning point in the journey to make cryptocurrency an integral part of daily life.
