Bankless Author: William M. Peaster

Ethereum is always pushing forward.

What's coming next? Pectra is the next major Ethereum upgrade, and itโ€™s set to be an even bigger deal than Dencun was. 

Pectra combines two previously planned upgrades: Prague (for the execution layer) and Electra (for the consensus layer).  By merging these specs, Pectra aims to bring several ambitious improvements to Ethereum, making it more flexible and optimized than ever before.

What's Pectra all about? We've got you covered in today's article ๐Ÿ‘‡
