以太坊開發人員計劃“ Pectra”升級，針對4月初發布日期

Pectra（代表兩個單獨升級的Portmanteau，布拉格和伊萊克特拉）包括對第二大區塊鏈的八項重大改進。

Ethereum developers have set test dates for Pectra, the network's first major upgrade in 11 months, putting it on track for a potential April release date.

以太坊開發人員設定了Pectra的測試日期，Pectra是該網絡在11個月內的首次大型升級，這使其正軌有潛在的4月發布日期。

The upgrade will contain an array of improvements — with a special focus on wallets and validators — and comes at a period of heightened scrutiny for Ethereum, which has recently faced pressure from its community to refocus and catch up with competitors.

該升級將包含一系列改進 - 特別關注錢包和驗證者 - 並在對以太坊的審查中進行了更高的審查，該期最近面臨著社區的壓力，要求其重新註重並趕上競爭對手。

Ethereum's core builders decided on Thursday during their bi-weekly "All Core Developers" call to begin testing Pectra on Feb. 24 on the Holesky testnet, with a follow-up test on the network's Sepolia testnet slated for Mar. 5.

以太坊的核心建築商在周四的每兩週“所有核心開發人員”呼籲於2月24日開始測試Pectra的Holesky Testnet上，並對該網絡的Sepolia Testnet進行了後續測試，該測試於3月5日進行。

Should those tests succeed, the developers will reconvene on Mar. 6 to determine when to launch the upgrade officially. According to Tim Beiko, the protocol support lead at the Ethereum Foundation, developers expect the upgrade to hit mainnet in early April.

如果這些測試成功，開發商將在3月6日重新登陸，以確定何時正式啟動升級。根據以太坊基金會的協議支持負責人蒂姆·貝科（Tim Beiko）的說法，開發人員預計升級將在4月初登陸Mainnet。

“Holesky will fork at slot 3710976 (Mon, Feb 24 at 21:55:12 UTC). Sepolia will fork at slot 7118848 (Wed, Mar 5 at 07:29:36 UTC). Assuming Sepolia goes smoothly, we'll pick the mainnet slot on the March 6 ACD call,” Beiko wrote in a Thursday tweet.

“ Holesky Will將在3710976的老虎機上分叉（2月24日星期一21:55:12 UTC）。 Sepolia Will Will將在7118848的老虎機上分叉（3月5日，UTC 07:29:36）。假設Sepolia順利進行，我們將在3月6日的ACD呼叫中選擇主網插槽，” Beiko在周四的推文中寫道。

Pectra — a portmanteau representing two separate upgrades, Prague and Electra — includes eight major improvements to the second-largest blockchain. Among the most-anticipated is EIP-7702, which is supposed to improve the user experience of crypto wallets. The idea is part of a broader blockchain trend called account abstraction, which encompasses a series of features meant to make using wallets less clunky (for instance, by allowing users to pay gas fees in currencies other than ETH). In this case, addresses on Etheruem known as externally owned account (EOAs) — which includes most user-controlled crypto wallets — will be reconfigured to support smart contract functionality, opening the door for wallet developers to offer a range of quality-of-improvements to their users.

Pectra（代表兩個單獨升級的Portmanteau，布拉格和伊萊克特拉）包括對第二大區塊鏈的八項重大改進。最受期待的是EIP-7702，它應該改善加密錢包的用戶體驗。這個想法是一種稱為帳戶抽象的更廣泛的區塊鏈趨勢的一部分，該趨勢涵蓋了一系列功能，旨在使使用錢包變得不那麼笨拙（例如，通過允許用戶支付ETH以外的其他貨幣費用）。在這種情況下，將重新配置在Etheruem上稱為外部帳戶（EOAS）（EOAS）（EOAS）（EOAS）（EOAS），將重新配置以支持智能合同功能，為錢包開發人員打開大門，以提供一系列的工程質量。給他們的用戶。

Another major Pectra feature, EIP-7251, will let validators increase the amount they can stake — from 32 to 2,048 ETH. The change is supposed to help large validators consolidate their node operations (currently, staking more than 32 ETH requires using multiple nodes). It will also help speed up the process of setting up a new node — today's system has led to weeks-long queues for validators to spin up new infrastructure.

EIP-7251 EIP-7251的另一個主要功能將使驗證者增加其股份的數量 - 從32到2,048 ETH。該更改應該可以幫助大型驗證器合併其節點操作（目前，使用超過32個ETH需要使用多個節點）。這也將有助於加快建立新節點的過程 - 當今的系統已導致驗證器旋轉新基礎架構的長達數週的隊列。

The Ethereum community has been grappling with an identity crisis of late. Its native token, ether (ETH), is underperforming against other cryptocurrencies, and competitor networks like Solana have drawn attention and talent from the Ethereum ecosystem — the first-ever programmable blockchain and still the most trafficked. Amid the drama — much of it directed at the Etheruem Foundation, which coordinates chain upgrades and is currently undergoing a major leadership shuffle — developers are hoping that Pectra will help put the network on steadier footing.

以太坊社區一直在努力應對一場身份危機。它的原住民代幣Ether（ETH）的表現不佳，與其他加密貨幣相比，Solana等競爭對手網絡吸引了以太坊生態系統的關注和才華，這是有史以來第一個可編程的區塊鏈，但仍然是最多的。在戲劇中 - 其中大部分是針對Etheruem基金會的，該基金會協調連鎖升級，目前正在進行主要的領導層調整 - 開發商希望Pectra能夠幫助該網絡穩步穩定。
