Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade: The Biggest Code Shakeup Since the Merge

Ethereum’s core devs are rolling the dice again—Pectra’s overhaul could redefine smart contract economics. Just don’t ask about gas fees.
Here’s what’s breaking: A total EVM rewrite, wallet abstraction at the protocol level, and (finally) a fix for that pesky ’random number’ vulnerability that’s been haunting DeFi degens since 2020.
The kicker? This isn’t just tech theater. With staking yields already compressed tighter than a VC’s pitch deck, Pectra might actually make running a node profitable again—or bury the proof-of-stake experiment for good.
