Pectra hard fork explained — Will it get Ethereum back on track?
Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra hard fork brings huge improvements for users — but the single most important scaling upgrade has been left out.
The Ethereum roadmap has been under attack from all sides recently, with even ETH researcher Dankrad Feist and Base creator Jesse Pollak agreeing the existing scaling plan is “unambitious” and not “even close to aggressive enough.”
The community consternation appears to have lit a fire under some leading figures.
Over the weekend, Ethereum creator Vitalik Buterin released a new post calling for the roadmap to accelerate and quickly scale up from the current three data availability blobs per slot to 128 blobs and beyond. L2s use blobs to store data and need as many as possible to grow affordably. Crypto investment firm Paradigm laid out its own plan that basically says: “Stop dicking around and ship scaling upgrades faster.”
