The post Ethereum Set For Significant Changes In Mid-March appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Este artículo también está disponible en español. Despite facing considerable price challenges, Ethereum (ETH) remains resilient, with vital developments continuing to unfold within its ecosystem. Among the most anticipated advancements is the upcoming Pectra Upgrade, expected to roll out in mid-March.  This upgrade is being hailed as the largest in Ethereum’s history, marked by the introduction of numerous Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) that promise to transform the network’s functionality and user experience. How Ethereum Validators Could Earn Even Higher Rewards Anthony Sassano, an independent Ethereum educator and angel investor, has been vocal about the potential impact of the Pectra Upgrade, emphasizing that this upgrade will significantly enhance Ethereum’s user transaction flow through account abstraction, primarily driven by EIP-7702.  Instead of navigating the cumbersome approve-then-swap process, users will be able to execute these actions in a single transaction, substantially simplifying the user experience. Related Reading Another notable proposal, EIP-7251, is set to increase the maximum effective balance that validators can earn rewards on from 32 ETH to an impressive 2048 ETH per validator.  This change means that validators will no longer need to wait to accumulate 32 ETH before they can start earning staking rewards. The upgrade will also allow for the consolidation of validators managed by a single node operator, thereby alleviating some of the network’s operational burden. Key EIPs To Optimize Network Performance EIP-7691 addresses scalability concerns by increasing blob throughput. Blobs have been near capacity for months, which has constrained the scalability of rollups and layer 2 solutions while driving up transaction fees for users.  With the forthcoming increase from 3/6 to 6/9 blobs, the network is expected to accommodate more transactions, leading to lower fees and improved performance for users. The Pectra Upgrade also introduces EIP-7623, which raises the cost of using calldata for rollups. This measure…
