Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade has officially launched, introducing significant enhancements to wallet functionality and validator operations. The upgrade aims to improve network performance and user experience across DeFi, gaming, and payment platforms. However, security experts warn of potential vulnerabilities with new message-signing mechanisms.

  • EIP-7702 enables regular wallets to operate like smart contracts, supporting non-ETH fee payments and batch transactions.
  • Validator stake limit raised from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, easing operations for large stakers.
  • Security experts warn of new vulnerabilities with message-signing mechanisms, potentially exposing wallets to malicious actors.
