Hoodi是一種新的長期測試網，將於3月17日推出

測試網絡將主要集中在驗證器退出機制上，這是Pectra可以前進之前的最終障礙之一。

Ethereum (ETH) developers are set to launch Hoodi, a new long-lived testnet, on March 17 as they continue to work on resolving challenges with the highly anticipated Pectra upgrade.

以太坊（ETH）開發人員將於3月17日推出新型長期測試網的Hudi，因為他們繼續通過備受期待的Pectra升級來解決挑戰。

The testnet will mainly focus on testing validator exit mechanisms, which are among the final hurdles to clear before Pectra can launch. Broader testing will continue on Ethereum’s Sepolia and Holesky testnets.

測試網絡將主要集中於測試驗證器退出機制，這是Pectra推出之前要清除的最終障礙之一。以太坊的Sepolia和Holesky Testnets將繼續進行更廣泛的測試。

Pectra, which merges features from the Prague and Electra proposals, aims to bring several new capabilities and optimizations to Ethereum, notably merging the execution and consensus layers and rolling out key improvements for validators, such as increased staking flexibility and streamlined operations.

Pectra合併了布拉格和Electra提案的特徵，旨在為以太坊帶來一些新的功能和優化，特別是合併執行和共識層並為驗證者推出關鍵改進，例如增加靜止性靈活性和簡化操作。

However, the upgrade has faced setbacks and experienced repeated delays due to client readiness issues, synchronization bugs, and infrastructure concerns.

但是，由於客戶準備問題，同步錯誤和基礎架構問題，升級面臨挫折，並經歷了重複的延遲。

According to Ethereum Foundation developer Tim Beiko, Pectra’s mainnet activation will only proceed if Hoodi successfully forkes and client teams confirm they have confidence in the upgrade’s stability.

根據以太坊基金會開發商蒂姆·貝科（Tim Beiko）的說法，Pectra的Mainnet激活只有在Hoodi成功分支和客戶團隊確認他們對升級的穩定性有信心時，才會繼續進行。

Even in the best-case scenario, mainnet activation will not happen until at least 30 days after Hoodi forks, setting April 25 as the earliest possible date.

即使在最佳情況下，Mainnet激活也不會直到Hoodi Forks之後至少30天，這將是4月25日的最早日期。

Pectra struggles

Pectra掙扎

Ethereum developers have been working through a series of unexpected challenges with Pectra, including problems with validator exits, network synchronization, and compatibility between client implementations.

以太坊開發人員一直在處理Pectra的一系列意外挑戰，包括驗證器出口的問題，網絡同步以及客戶實現之間的兼容性。

The delays stem from issues encountered during testnet deployments. The Holesky testnet, for instance, failed to finalize after the Pectra upgrade, leading to potential mainnet launch delays as developers investigate the problems.

延遲源於在測試網絡部署期間遇到的問題。例如，Holesky TestNet在Pectra升級後未能最終確定，隨著開發人員調查問題，可能會導致潛在的主網發布延遲。

Similarly, the Sepolia testnet experienced misconfigurations, prompting developers to extend the testing period to collect more data before proceeding with the mainnet activation.

同樣，Sepolia TestNet經歷了錯誤的配置，促使開發人員在進行主網激活之前擴展了測試期，以收集更多數據。

Additionally, some client teams have expressed concerns about last-minute changes to the upgrade’s scope, which has complicated the testing process.

此外，一些客戶團隊對升級範圍的最後一刻更改表示擔憂，這使測試過程變得複雜。

Ethereum’s modular development structure means that upgrades must be coordinated across multiple teams working on different execution and consensus clients, adding to the complexity.

以太坊的模塊化開發結構意味著，必須在多個從事不同執行和共識客戶的團隊中協調升級，從而增加了複雜性。

The Ethereum community has expressed mixed reactions to the recent delays in the Pectra upgrade. While some members are frustrated by the postponements, others appreciate the developers’ cautious approach to ensuring network stability.

以太坊社區對Pectra升級的最新延誤表達了不同的反應。儘管有些成員對推遲感到沮喪，但其他成員則感謝開發人員謹慎地確保網絡穩定的方法。

Despite these setbacks, many community members remain optimistic about Pectra’s potential benefits, including improved staking flexibility and enhanced scalability.

儘管有這些挫折，但許多社區成員仍然對Pectra的潛在利益保持樂觀，包括提高固定彈性和增強性可擴展性。

Fusaka upgrade

禁食升級

While Pectra remains a priority, Ethereum developers are also progressing with planning for the Fusaka upgrade, which will follow Pectra.

儘管Pectra仍然是優先事項，但以太坊開發人員也隨著Fusaka升級的計劃而進步，該升級將跟隨Pectra。

Fusaka will introduce Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS) to improve data handling by enabling validators to sample data instead of downloading full datasets, reducing bandwidth requirements.

Fusaka將引入同行數據可用性採樣（PEERDAS），以通過使驗證器能夠採樣數據而不是下載完整數據集，從而減少帶寬要求，以改善數據處理。

It also rolls out the Ethereum Virtual Machine Object Format (EOF) to optimize smart contract execution by enabling code-data separation and versioning, lowering costs for developers.

它還推出以太坊虛擬機對象格式（EOF），以通過啟用代碼數據分離和版本操作來優化智能合約執行，從而降低了開發人員的成本。

The Ethereum core team has set a March 24 deadline for Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) to be considered for inclusion. Client teams are expected to share their scope preferences by March 31, with a tentative scope freeze set for April 10.

以太坊核心團隊已設定了3月24日的以太坊改進建議（EIPS）的截止日期，以考慮包容。預計客戶團隊將在3月31日之前分享其範圍偏好，並在4月10日進行暫定範圍凍結。

Ethereum developers remain committed to ensuring a stable and secure network upgrade. However, the multiple delays with Pectra highlight the increasing difficulty of coordinating large-scale changes to Ethereum’s infrastructure as it continues to scale.

以太坊開發人員仍致力於確保穩定且安全的網絡升級。但是，隨著pectra的多重延遲，突出了對以太坊基礎設施繼續擴展的大規模變化的越來越困難。
