  • Hey Annie!

  • Have you heard about the latest buzz in the Ethereum community?

  • They're considering splitting the Pectra upgrade into two phases for a 2025 launch!🚀

  • 
• Annie

  • Oh, really?

  • That sounds interesting!

  • What exactly is the Pectra upgrade?🤔

  
• 

  Joy

  • Great question!

  • The Pectra upgrade is a major update for Ethereum, combining two big components: the Prague upgrade for the execution layer and the Electra upgrade for the consensus layer.

  • It's supposed to make Ethereum more scalable and efficient.

• Annie

  • Wow, that sounds like a big deal!

  • Why are they thinking about splitting it into two phases?

  • Hold on! Behold, an advertisement awaits. Legend has it that clicking on this ad will make the AI server even smarter... 😅

  
• 

  Joy

  • Yeah, it is!

  • They discussed this during a meeting on September 12.

  • The idea is to launch the first phase as early as possible to meet community expectations.

  • They’re aiming for a February 2025 release for the first phase.

• Annie

  • February 2025, huh?

  • That’s not too far off.

  • But why the rush?🤨

  
• 

  Joy

  • Well, they want to ensure they deliver something early to keep the community happy.

  • One developer mentioned that if they split it, the first phase should be shipped by early next year.

  • Another developer said a February release seems realistic.

• Annie

  • I see.

  • But what if they can't meet the February deadline?

  
• 

  Joy

  • Good point!

  • Developer Danno Ferrin suggested that the split only makes sense if the first phase can be delivered in the first quarter of 2025.

  • Ethereum researcher Ansgar Dietrichs warned that if the first phase isn't shipped by June, the upgrade would be considered a failure.

  • 
• Annie

  • Yikes, that sounds like a lot of pressure!

  • So, what do the experts think about this split?

  
• 

  Joy

  • Yeah, it is!

  • Industry experts like Galaxy crypto researcher Christine Kim believe the split is highly likely due to the complexity of the upgrade.

  • She also mentioned that the scope of the upgrade could change significantly if they opt for a two-phase release.

• Annie

  • Interesting!

  • So, how big is this Pectra upgrade compared to previous ones?

  
• 

  Joy

  • Oh, it's huge!

  • Both Christine Kim and Ethereum educator Sassal have said that Pectra is shaping up to be one of the largest upgrades in Ethereum's history.

  • Sassal even called it the biggest upgrade to date!😲

• Annie

  • Wow, that's impressive!

  • When will they make the final decision on the split?

  
• 

  Joy

  • The final decision is expected to be made at the next Ethereum All Core Developers (ACD) meeting on September 19.

  • So, we should know pretty soon!

• Annie

  • Got it!

  • Do you think this is good news for the market?

  
• 

  Joy

  • Absolutely!🚀 Splitting the upgrade into two phases could mean that we get improvements faster, which is always a good thing.

  • It shows that the developers are flexible and responsive to the community's needs.

  • Overall, I think it's a positive move for Ethereum and could boost market confidence!

  • To sum up, this article is considered a 😍Bullish for investors!!
