Ethereum Launches Mekong Test Network for Pectra Upgrade: Key Improvements and Future Features

On November 7th, COINOTAG reported that Ethereum developers have rolled out a temporary test network named Mekong to facilitate the upcoming Pectra upgrade. This innovative testnet aims to analyze specific code modifications prior to their deployment across other public testnets and, ultimately, the Ethereum mainnet. According to insights shared in a blog post by core developers, the Mekong testnet is pivotal for assessing the implications of the proposed changes. Although its operation is expected to be brief, it encompasses all critical features earmarked for the Pectra upgrade, including various Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs).

Originally, the Pectra upgrade was slated to incorporate 20 EIPs; however, this figure has been streamlined to roughly 8 pivotal proposals. The adjustments are primarily centered on enhancing user experience and optimizing network efficiency. Noteworthy modifications being trialed include enhancements to encrypted wallet functionality, the introduction of account abstraction, and an increase in the maximum staking limit for validators from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH, along with a revamp of the deposit and exit mechanisms.
