Ethereum developers are delaying the Pectra upgrade after encountering issues during testing, CoinDesk reports citing the public developer call.

What’s the Scoop?

  • Buggy Test Runs: Two key test networks, Holesky and Sepolia, encountered bugs due to misconfigurations rather than flaws in the Pectra upgrade itself.
  • Shadow Fork Setup: A temporary shadow fork of Holesky will allow stakeholders to test the Pectra upgrade while the main network undergoes repairs.
  • Upgrade on Hold: Developers are collecting more data and plan to resume the upgrade process once the Holesky network returns to normal operation.
