From "King of Altcoins" to "Institutional Paradise"? Can Pectra Upgrade Reshape the Ethereum Ecosystem?
The Ethereum Pectra upgrade combines the Prague and Electra versions, marking a deep integration of the execution layer and the consensus layer, aiming to improve the staking mechanism, optimize L2 scalability, and enhance network governance.
