The long -awaited Ethereum’s sicking update took a great step forward on Wednesday morning with its successful implementation in the sepolia test network.
The greatest update to Ethereum since 2024, Pin consists of 11 main characteristics, or “proposals for improvement of Ethereum” (EIP), which will be sent at once. Together, the characteristics aim to improve the reference, the functionality of the wallet and the general efficiency of the network.
Sepolia’s sicking update, which was completed at 07:29:36 UTC, followed a failed test in the Ethereum Holesky testnet last week. An erroneous configuration between the validators resulted in a chain division, which makes Holesky unusable.
Test networks mimic a main block chain and developers use changes to prove changes to the code in a low risk environment. Holesky, which has a validator structure Closer to Ethereum’s main lanet that sepolia, was seen as a critical test field for pein. (Developers are still working to re -operate Holesky and have established an alternative developer network such as a temporary testing field for validators).
Ethereum developers will meet on March 6 to discuss the launch timeline of Mainnet. With only a totally successful test, developers can choose to delay the implementation of principles to guarantee stability.
A key pein proposal that will benefit Ethereum’s validators is EIP-7251, which increases the maximum amount of ETH, one can participate from 32 to 2,048. The change is intended to address today’s clumsy betting system, where the validators that support more than its 32 ETH must divide their commitment into multiple nodes.
Another highly anticipated proposal, EIP-7702, would allow cryptographic wallets to work temporarily as intelligent contracts. The change approaches Ethereum to the abstraction of the account, which allows wallets to offer easier features. For example, users could pay transaction rates in Stablcoins instead of ETH, establish automatic subscription payments or recover access to their wallets without depending on complex seed phrases.
The rock test cycle occurs when Ethereum developers are under pressure to send improvements more quickly. Some Ethereum fans fear that the network is losing its advantage to the newest chains like Solana, which Mindshare has won in recent months due to its popularity among meme coin users.
The ETH price has also had a lower performance recently in relation to other important currencies, and the Ethereum Foundation, the non -profit administrator of the network development, has been harassed by the leadership drama.
