• Pectra upgrade integrates EVM Object Format, enhancing Ethereum’s smart contract security.

  • EIP-7702 facilitates Ethereum addresses to act as smart contract wallets, ensuring smoother transactions.

  • Pectra aims to alleviate high transaction fees on Layer 2 platforms, enhancing user experience.

Ethereum, one of the main blockchain networks, plans to issue a big update called Pectra within the to begin with quarter of 2025. This release includes many Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), which are likely to essentially affect users and developers.

Pectra’s upgrade includes various technological advances that will alter the cryptocurrency industry. Among these improvements are the EVM Object Format (EOF) and EIP-7702, which were proposed by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.

Pectra, the next Ethereum network upgrade, is shaping up to be the biggest in Ethereum's history!The confirmed EIPs include:– EIP-7702 (replaces EIP-3074/account abstraction) – EIP-7594 / PeerDAS (huge upgrade for rollup scalability)– EIP-7251 / MaxEB (stake more than 32…

EOF intends to move forward with the security and productivity of Ethereum smart contracts.  By integrating this format, Ethereum will enable safer and faster transactions, reducing the likelihood of errors and vulnerabilities.

EIP-7702 enables Ethereum account addresses to temporarily serve as smart contract wallets during transactions. This functionality will provide customers with increased freedom, allowing them to handle their cryptocurrency more efficiently and safely.

In addition, Pectra intends to address longstanding issues, such as high transaction fees on Layer 2 platforms. By integrating around 19 EIPs, Ethereum ensures that the user experience will be significantly improved.

At the All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) call on June 6, Ethereum developers agreed to expand the scope of the Pectra upgrade to include EOF and EIP 7702. The meeting was led by Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation.

Developers are also considering activating at a different activation epoch than other EIPs, as is planned for PeerDAS. While there were some concerns from the Geth development team regarding Verkle’s functionality, the majority of the development team supported EOF integration on Pectra.

EOF will be a major improvement, especially for users interacting with the compiler for Ethereum’s smart contract programming language, Solidity. Beiko recommends that all Pectra EIPs including EOF be delivered in one client release.

With these events, Ethereum’s price is showing strong indicators. Since the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) endorsed a spot Ethereum ETF, its price has risen. In the past 24 hours, Ethereum exchanged at $3,689, a 0.4% decrease. investors hope that the Ethereum price will cross $5,000 as per projections from leading analysts.

Furthermore, the launch of Pectra is expected to provide a further boost to the price of Ethereum, considering that this upgrade will bring significant benefits in terms of efficiency, security, and user experience.

Ethereum’s future shines bright with the upcoming Pectra upgrade in early 2025. This move underscores Ethereum’s dedication to innovation, tackling issues like transaction fees and bolstering security through breakthroughs like EOF and EIP-7702. These advancements solidify Ethereum’s leading position in the crypto market, shaping the future of decentralized finance.
