两次越野车测试后，以太坊（ETH）pectra升级了

在两次越野车测试pectra之后

After two buggy test runs of Pectra, Ethereum's biggest upgrade since 2024, the network's developers decided on Thursday to postpone the upgrade pending further tests.

在两次越野车测试pectra之后，以太坊自2024年以来最大的升级后，该网络的开发人员周四决定将升级推迟，等待进一步的测试。

Pectra, which was planned as Ethereum faced mounting pressure to compete with other blockchains, contains a slate of upgrades designed to improve Ethereum's speed and ease of use.

佩克拉（Pectra）计划以太坊面临着与其他区块链竞争的不断增长的压力，其中包含旨在提高以太坊速度和易用性的升级。

When developers inked in the test dates for Pectra in January, they agreed to use the Thursday, Mar. 6 call to set a date for Pectra to go live on the mainnet. If all went well, the expectation was that the upgrade would go live in March.

当开发人员在一月份在Pectra的测试日期墨水时，他们同意使用3月6日星期四的电话，将Pectra的日期定为日期，让Pectra在主网上上线。如果一切顺利，期望升级将在三月份进行。

The decision to postpone came after Pectra's tests on Holesky and Sepolia, Ethereum's two primary test networks, both encountered bugs. In both cases, the problems resulted from misconfigurations with the test rather than issues with Pectra itself.

在佩克拉（Pectra）对以太坊的两个主要测试网络Holesky和Sepolia的测试后，推迟推迟的决定是遇到错误的。在这两种情况下，问题都是由于测试的不良配置而不是Pectra本身的问题。

Under normal circumstances, these two tests would have been enough. However, due to the bugs, developers determined on Thursday that Pectra should undergo additional testing before it goes live on Ethereum's main network.

在正常情况下，这两个测试就足够了。但是，由于这些错误，开发人员在周四确定Pectra在以太坊的主要网络上进行之前应该进行其他测试。

"It seems like we need more information before we can really set a concrete date," said Alex Stokes, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation who led Thursday’s call.

“似乎我们需要更多信息才能真正设定具体日期，”以太坊基金会的研究人员亚历克斯·斯托克斯（Alex Stokes）说。

As for next steps, developers decided on Thursday to create a "shadow fork" of the Holesky test network, which has been inoperable since the last Pectra upgrade. The Pectra test's configuration issues forced many of Holesky's validators offline, meaning the network can no longer record transactions properly.

至于下一步，开发人员决定在周四建立一个Holesky测试网络的“阴影叉”，这是自上次pectra升级以来无法使用的。 Pectra测试的配置问题迫使Holesky的许多验证器离线，这意味着网络无法再记录交易。

A shadow fork is a temporary copy of a blockchain network that is discarded once it is no longer needed. Holesky is a vitally important testing area for Ethereum's developers, and a shadow fork will allow certain key stakeholders — like staking pools and app developers — to test their code on Pectra while the main Holesky network is being fixed.

阴影叉是区块链网络的临时副本，一旦不再需要，它就会被丢弃。 Holesky是以太坊开发人员的至关重要的测试区域，阴影叉将允许某些关键的利益相关者（例如Staging Pools和App Developers）在固定主要的Holesky网络时在Pectra上测试其代码。

"Anyone who wants to test on Holesky can test there,” Stokes recapped on Thursday's call. In the meantime, developers will work to get the primary Holesky network back up and running, which will require 67% of the validators who run the network to reconfigure their systems and come back online.

Stokes在周四的电话中回顾了Stokes：“任何想在Holesky上进行测试的人都可以在那里进行测试。与此同时，开发人员将努力使主要的Holesky Network备份并运行，这将需要67％的验证者运行网络来重新配置其系统并返回在线。

Once Holeksy can finalize once again — meaning it's able to add and record transactions as usual — "we'll have more data to make a call on the next steps around mainnet and launching Pectra,” said Stokes. Developers say Holesky will be operating normally again by around March 28.

斯托克斯说，一旦Holeksy再次完成 - 能够像往常一样添加和记录交易 - “我们将有更多数据来呼吁Mainnet围绕Mainnet并启动Pectra的下一步。” Stokes说。开发人员说，Holesky将在3月28日左右在3月28日左右正常运行。

Pectra’s Improvements

Pectra的改进

Pectra is set to be one of the blockchain’s most ambitious changes to date, aimed at improving ease of use for both users and operators of the network.

Pectra将成为迄今为止区块链最雄心勃勃的变化之一，旨在提高网络用户和运营商的易用性。

One of the upgrade's main additions, EIP-7702, gives crypto wallets some smart contract capabilities. The change is meant to move Ethereum further towards account abstraction, a technological feature that lets wallet builders add user-friendly features, like the ability to pay for fees with currencies other than Ethereum's native ETH.

EIP-7702升级的主要添加剂之一使加密钱包具有一些智能合同功能。该更改旨在将以太坊进一步转移到Account Accort Actraction，这是一项技术功能，可让钱包构建者添加对用户友好的功能，例如能够使用以太坊的原生ETH以外的其他货币支付费用的能力。

Another key proposal, EIP-7251, will alleviate some headaches for Ethereum's operators, or "validators." The change will increase the maximum amount of ETH one validator can stake from 32 to 2,048, meaning those who stake more than 32 ETH will no longer need to split their assets between so many nodes. The change is meant to improve convenience for validators and reduce the amount of time it takes to spin up a new node.

另一个关键提议EIP-7251将减轻以太坊运营商或“验证者”的一些头痛。更改将增加一个ETH一个验证器的最大量可以从32到2,048，这意味着那些将超过32 ETH的人不再需要将其资产分配在这么多节点之间。更改旨在提高验证器的便利性，并减少旋转新节点所需的时间。

Thursday's postponement came as community members had already voiced frustration with the Ethereum Foundation, the non-profit that stewards Ethereum's development and coordinates network upgrades.

周四的推迟是因为社区成员已经对以太坊基金会感到沮丧，以太坊基金会是管理以太坊的发展并协调网络升级的非营利组织。

The foundation's critics argue that Ethereum has failed to develop a cohesive roadmap that will help it compete with ascendent networks like Solana. They point to the lagging price of ether (ETH) as a sign of waning confidence from the wider market.

基金会的批评家认为，以太坊未能开发出凝聚力的路线图，这将有助于它与Solana等上升网络竞争。他们指出，以太（ETH）的落后价格是从更广泛的市场信心下降的标志。
