ETHEREUM'S NEXT UPGRADE: PECTRA

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Ethereum's next hard fork, Pectra, consists of updates to the Prague execution layer and Electra consensus layer. It will be released in Q1 2025 and feature PeerDAS data availability sampling to improve rollup scaling and upgrades to the EVM Object Format (EOF) to support a better UX. It should help to alleviate pressure on the networking layer and support increased blob demand.
