ChainCatcher news, the upcoming Pectra upgrade for Ethereum was activated on the Sepolia testnet around 14:30 Beijing time today.

It is reported that the Sepolia version is the last major release before the mainnet upgrade launch, which is expected to start next month. This deployment marks the second phase of the Pectra testnet activation, following Pectra's launch on the Holesky testnet on February 24.

The Pectra upgrade is named a combination of "Prague" (execution layer changes) and "Electra" (consensus layer updates), introducing several changes aimed at improving Ethereum's scalability. If performance is good, developers expect to determine the mainnet activation date during the All Core Developers (ACD) call on March 6, 2025. The potential launch time for the mainnet is set for early April.
