According to Odaily Planet Daily, Parithosh Jayanthi, the EF DevOps engineer who promoted the split Ethereum Pectra upgrade, said that the discussion of splitting Pectra into two forks was mainly to reduce the risk of errors and speed up delivery.
On Thursday, ethereum developers will decide whether Pectra will split into two forks during an upcoming ethereum core developer consensus meeting. If the split is agreed, the first software package could be launched as early as 2025 (as early as February).
The first part of Pectra will include Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), such as EIP-7702, which aims to improve the wallet. The second part will include EIPs aimed at upgrading the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EOF).
EF researcher Ansgar Dietrichs said that Ethereum developers have no big objection to the possibility of a fork, but one drawback is pushing EIP-7594, or PeerDAS, to a second package. PeerDAS is designed to improve data availability on Ethereum, and with the delay in the launch of this feature, the fees on the second-layer blockchain may be slightly higher for the time being.
