以太坊开发人员计划“ Pectra”升级，针对4月初发布日期

Pectra（代表两个单独升级的Portmanteau，布拉格和伊莱克特拉）包括对第二大区块链的八项重大改进。

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.

以太坊开发人员设定了Pectra的测试日期，Pectra是该网络在11个月内的首次大型升级，这使其正轨有潜在的4月发布日期。

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.

该升级将包含一系列改进 - 特别关注钱包和验证者 - 并在对以太坊的审查中进行了更高的审查，该期最近面临着社区的压力，要求其重新注重并赶上竞争对手。

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.

以太坊的核心建筑商在周四的每两周“所有核心开发人员”呼吁于2月24日开始测试Pectra的Holesky Testnet上，并对该网络的Sepolia Testnet进行了后续测试，该测试于3月5日进行。

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.

如果这些测试成功，开发商将在3月6日重新登陆，以确定何时正式启动升级。根据以太坊基金会的协议支持负责人蒂姆·贝科（Tim Beiko）的说法，开发人员预计升级将在4月初登陆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将在3710976的老虎机上分叉（2月24日星期一21:55:12 UTC）。 Sepolia Will Will将在7118848的老虎机上分叉（3月5日，UTC 07:29:36）。假设Sepolia顺利进行，我们将在3月6日的ACD呼叫中选择主网插槽，” Beiko在周四的推文中写道。

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（代表两个单独升级的Portmanteau，布拉格和伊莱克特拉）包括对第二大区块链的八项重大改进。最受期待的是EIP-7702，它应该改善加密钱包的用户体验。这个想法是一种称为帐户抽象的更广泛的区块链趋势的一部分，该趋势涵盖了一系列功能，旨在使使用钱包变得不那么笨拙（例如，通过允许用户支付ETH以外的其他货币费用）。在这种情况下，将重新配置在Etheruem上称为外部帐户（EOAS）（EOAS）（EOAS）（EOAS）（EOAS），将重新配置以支持智能合同功能，为钱包开发人员打开大门，以提供一系列的工程质量。给他们的用户。

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的另一个主要功能将使验证者增加其股份的数量 - 从32到2,048 ETH。该更改应该可以帮助大型验证器合并其节点操作（目前，使用超过32个ETH需要使用多个节点）。这也将有助于加快建立新节点的过程 - 当今的系统已导致验证器旋转新基础架构的长达数周的队列。

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.

以太坊社区一直在努力应对一场身份危机。它的原住民代币Ether（ETH）的表现不佳，与其他加密货币相比，Solana等竞争对手网络吸引了以太坊生态系统的关注和才华，这是有史以来第一个可编程的区块链，但仍然是最多的。在戏剧中 - 其中大部分是针对Etheruem基金会的，该基金会协调连锁升级，目前正在进行主要的领导层调整 - 开发商希望Pectra能够帮助该网络稳步稳定。
